Happy First Day of Spring and the fourth quarter!
We have a busy, but short week. Wednesday is Pajama and Stuffed Animal Day. Thursday is the Young People's Concert. Friday there is no school because of PLD.

In literacy, we are working on folktales and what makes a folktale.

In writing this week, we will be writing our Thank You's for Career/Hobby presenters. We will also write our fourth quarter goals. Lastly, we will get ready for our next writing project which will start after break which is writing our own fractured fairy tale. We will brainstorm fairy tales and discussing which stories they can retell.

We will take our spelling test on Wednesday.

With the Forward Exam coming up in April, we decided that we need to cover fractions and geometry so we decided to put Unit 5 on hold. We will pretest Unit 7 on fractions on Monday. From there we will split the students into 3 groups. We will explore fractions by understanding what is a fraction, make fractions, and locate fractions on a number line.

A Reading/Fact/Word sheet is being sent home on Monday. It is due on April 3. I made a line down the middle of the reading part so students can record any reading they do over break so they can get credit for Fang's Reading Incentive. After break, we will be doing our monthly fact practice so please continue to work on facts.

Y5210 is also coming home. You can send it back this week or wait until April 3.

Happy Birthday to Natalie W. on March 26!!
