CLASSROOM UPDATE APRIL 15, 2011
Well AIMS week is officially over. I am very proud of the class for taking the test seriously and putting forth their best effort. Thank you for getting your child school on time each day!

Next week we will get back to our normal academic schedule. We will resume math lessons, independent reading and filling out reading logs each evening. Spelling and vocabulary words will continue after Spring Break. Our big focus will be on social studies and science these last 5 1/2 weeks of school.

Progress Reports will be coming home next Wednesday...please remind your child to stay "on the ball" for the remaining weeks of school. We will be very busy!
Please also remind your child to dress according to the LPA dress code policy each day. Many students are coming to school without a belt, shorts that are too short, and shirts that do not fit properly. If you have questions regarding the dress code, please consult your handbook.

In Science this week, students learned about Tsunamis, the solar system and what an owl eats. Ask your child about dissecting owl pellets...it's fascinating!
We will continue learning about the solar system through the end of the year. Students will complete a final power point presentation on an assigned planet to share with the class.

Don’t forget…Spring Break is April 21-25. I wish you all a very relaxing break and look forward to getting back to 5th grade learning on Tuesday, April 26th.
