Friday 5/10 - Friday 5/17

HOMEWORK:
No homework this week (yaaaay!) - but keep practicing the word roots that you've made as flashcards at home!

FIELD TRIP:
2nd & 3rd graders are going on a field trip to the Columbus Museum of Art to experience the Rothko exhibit. This will take place on Tuesday May, 21. A permission slip is in your child's folder and is due NO LATER than 5/20.

BIOGRAPHIES:
We are writing biographies in Language Arts. Each student has selected a person of interest and I have gone to the library to obtain books for use in class. Ask your child who he/she is researching and if you have materials at home, your child is welcome to use them at school! We will create a biography book and share these the last week of school.

GENERAL:
I encourage you to play math games, have your child calculate change or tell you the fraction of dishes that are cleared from the table vs. those left... real world math applications like that. Also, keep reading! The more your child reads, the better he or she will be at vocabulary and writing.
