Welcome back from Spring Break, and to the Fourth Quarter!!! I can't believe we only have one more quarter left of this year.  It is going to be a good one!  I hope everyone enjoyed their week off of school!

This week in curriculum:

In math we are beginning our unit on fractions.  We will learn how to read, write, compare and order fractions.  Then we will introduce them to mixed numbers and how to add and subtract fractions with like denominators.  Look for flip charts later this week.  New math facts logs will be coming home today as well as the weekly Hamby Homework.

In English Language Arts, we are continuing to work on close reading and constructed response questions as well as finding the main idea of poems.  In writing we are going to celebrate finishing our informational nonfiction stories.  They all did a wonderful job, and I want to give them an opportunity to share and celebrate their accomplishments!  This is an A week for writer's notebooks and they will turn in on Friday with 10 entries.  We are going to take a slight break from spelling tests until after the MAP test.  We will continue to work on spelling skills, but not be taking formal tests.

We have Spring Pictures this Friday! Have a great week!  Let me know any questions you have, and welcome back!
