Important Dates:
May 26, 2008 -- Memorial Day -- No School

English
We are well into the poetry anthology unit. Each and every child in this class is talented in the area of writing poems! They all have a knack for poetry. This week your child will be picking five of their own poems written over the last few weeks and five of their favorite poems by other poets to include in their very own poetry book. When all poems are selected, they will be typing their poems to publish. I can't wait to see the final product!

Math
This week we will begin Chapter 9, Fractions. There are many new concepts and vocabulary that will be introduced. It is important that students pay close attention to in-class instruction and participate in good note taking.
