Classroom Chatter
As our year is coming to an end, we will be cleaning up our room and collecting textbooks. Please make sure if you have any library books or textbooks at home, please return ASAP! Thank you!

The raffle for Japan has just begun. A letter was sent home on Wednesday, with the list of raffle items and raffle tickets. If you wish to participate, just fill in the tickets, put them in an envelope with the money, and return it to your classroom teacher. All tickets must be turned in by June 3rd. We will have the raffle at the all school assembly on June 6th. Thank you so much for your support.

Reading
We will spend this week reading the storying, Raising Dragons. Our last day of reading will be on Friday. Students will work on reading strategies we've done all year. We also will be doing Reader's Theater. Thank you to all parents who came to our magic show last week!!! For summer, it is so important that your child continues to read daily for at least 20 minutes!!!

English
We will finish this week up with our descriptive writing of a superhero.

Science
We will spend this week studying about the scientific method and inquiry. We will not test on this unit.

Social Studies
We will spend the week learning some map skills and creating our own map!

Math
We will spend this week reviewing division. If time allows, we will do some algebra. A note will come home with your child's report card regarding their math placement for next year.
