be bringing home the science notebook every night to
review for the test. On Monday, students will bring
home instructions for a Simple Machines Home

Please check with your child to make sure he/she
has glue, a highlighter, room in math journal

Reading: This week’s focus is identifying the main
idea with details supporting your choice.
Your child should have the Reading Log and Raz Kids
log in the homework binder for easy access so you can
monitor progression.

Tuesday and practice test on Thursday. Test on

time to get our speeches ready. We will complete the
speech outline and notecards in class. Speeches should
be practiced at home and timed to make sure they are
approximately 1 minute. If longer, we will need to
“shave” it down. Hopefully, all of the students have
started on their display boards at home. The Wax
Museum is April 1st and the classroom speech for the
grade will be that week earlier.
Needed: tissues! We have 1 box left. Please consider
sending a box in, especially if your child uses a lot of
tissues due to allergies and colds.
PE is on M, T & TH please be sure your child has
appropriate shoes. Please have your child wear
them to school – changing hasn’t been working out.
If students have any games, performances, meets,
etc. they would like me to attend, please send dates
and times. I would love to see them and will try to
work it into my schedule. : )
