I can't believe
that we are in the home stretch!
Kids who are going to Washington D.C.-have a great time!
Kids who are going to Camp Campbell Gard-have a great time!
Kids who will be at school-we'll have a great time too!
Parents and students, please check your houses for items that belong to and/or at school such as AR books, textbooks, teachers' books, library books, etc. Also, if you have any scissors, crayons or other art supplies that you would like to donate to the classroom, those items are in great demand for use by others who may not be as fortunate to have their own.
Let's enjoy the last few weeks of school-lots of fun stuff will be happening!

Box Tops for Education
Thanks to Mrs. Walker who came today to teach our class about stoichiometry.
Our school is having a Box Tops for Education contest. The class that collects the most Box Tops by May 22 will earn a popsicle and extra recess. Each box top is worth 10 cents. If each student brings in 10 box tops per week for the rest of the year, our class could collect almost $100. Just imagine if we had been collecting these all year! All money collected this year will be used to refurbish and replace our outdated library books. Participating products include:

Testing
As I write this, the students are working very diligently on their reading achievement test. I see lots of good test taking strategies being used.
As your child may have told you, we are playing a new game called Homeworkopoly several days a week. Students earn a roll of the dice by turning in completed work on time. So far, the kids really seem to like it
Special Spaces
MYSTERY PRIZE-When a student lands on this space, they can pick a prize from the treasure chest.
BRAINBINDERS-These are located at www.teachnet.com/brainbinders and they are printable, foldable paper puzzles that range from very easy to very challenging.
GAME SPOT-The game spot is used for playing games from our classroom.
FREE HOMEWORK-The student gets a free homework pass for the night when landing on this space.
GO-When passing go, the student will receive a trip to the class chum bucket.

Welcome Back!
Kids Math Games
I hope everyone had an enjoyable and restorative spring break. I certainly enjoyed the time I spent with my family and friends and felt very lucky that we had a few days with beautiful weather! Now that we're back, it's time to get into the school groove for our last 33 days. In math we still need to cover probability, data analysis and division. Our science topics include weathering, erosion and plants. As always, we will continue to read and write every day to improve the skills in both areas.
