Classroom Chatter
This week will be filled with wrapping things up for the year! We have two field trips this week. Tuesday we are bowling from 9-11. Please send a sack lunch this day. That way, if your child is too full from bowling, a hot lunch won't go to waste. Please limit the amount of money that is sent that day for your child to buy a treat. Thanks!

Friday is our boat trip. Dress for the weather. Remember, it is cooler by the lake. Dress in layers. Right now, 10 day forecast is calling for a high of 76 and a 30% chance of storms. Yikes!
Hopefully this will change!!!

Spelling
No spelling this week. We are done for the year!

English
We will be typing our autobiographies in the computer lab this week.

Reading
We will be watching the biography of Harry Houdini. We will spend time getting ready for Thursday's magic show! Don't forget to send me an email to reserve a seat! Show begins at 9am!


Social Studies
We will spend the week learning about present day Chicago and end our unit Friday with our boat trip at Navy Pier!

Science
We will spend this week finishing up science chapter 14. No chapter test.


Math
Our last day of math will be Tuesday 5/25. We will spend Monday and Tuesday working on multiplication of greater numbers and long division. A note will come home by the end of the year letting your child know of their math placement for next year!
