Dear Parents,

It has been an exciting 3rd quarter and beginning to 4th quarter.  Hopefully you have seen my Sign Up Genius for conferences.  They are not required but I like to offer them in case anyone has questions or concerns at this point in the school year.

The next couple of weeks will be busy.  We are having class pictures, our last field trip,  and super kids day.  Not to mention all the fun learning about fractions, research about water in EL, and finishing up our Science unit on water forms and landforms.  Please make sure your child can attend school when at all possible.  

EOG dates have been announced and you should make sure your family is planning on being in school for those dates.   If your child is absent or tardy they will need to take the test on a make up day.  It is easier on the child to take it with everyone else.

Please make sure your child is practicing their multiplication facts.  I have promised them an ice cream party with toppings when everyone finishes the tables from 1-12.  They need to be proficient in each times test by passing 20/22 questions in 1 minute.  They are typically given 2 opportunities a week to pass one of the tables.  My goal is that the entire class pass every times test before the party.  We will plan the party for sometime at the end of June.  I like to have it at the end of the year after EOG's are completed.  The date will be announced after we track back in sometime in May.

Important dates:
Class Pictures 3/4
Motion Commotion field trip 3/4
Super Kids Day 3/6
Reading EOG 6/18
Math EOG     6/19

Sincerely,
