English
We have begun Unit 6, Pronouns. We will cover the topics of using I & me in a sentence, possessive pronouns, contractions with pronouns, and double subjects this week. This should just about wrap up the unit. I anticipate doing a review on Monday, April 14th; therefore, the test should be Wednesday, April 16th.

Reading
Hopefully you have started out the month right and picked out a good book for your April book reports. They will be due Wednesday, April 30th. We are well on our way to completing our China unit project Friday of this week. This is an exciting project to show all they learned about China before break.

Math
We will begin the study of measurement with Chapter 11. This week we will cover elapsed time and units of length.
