Dear Parents,
We had a blast on our Read to a Kid
day! We are so glad that many of you were
able to make it. The children were so excited!
Spring is a busy time of year at school
and home, so please check planners and
Friday Folders for important information about
school activities. We are still learning and
working hard. This is such an important last few
months of school, please try to get good rest
and keep up with homework.
Wednesday we will begin our Walking
Wednesday to raise cancer awareness. This is
in honor of Wesley Kate (Ms. Hodgess
granddaughter.) Donations received will be
divided among various charities.

Tear- a drop of liquid

that comes from your
eyes especially when
you cry.

Math
Skill Focus: Fractions
We will continue learning
about fractions. We will
identify unit fractions on a
number line and compare
them by size and
equivalence.
