We are still working with fractions in math.  Please continue to help your child complete their homelinks. 

Reminders:

*  Scholastic book orders due May 15th.  I sent home May and June's catalogs.  I need this order on time, so that you can receive your order before school lets out for the summer.

*  Study spelling and high frequency words every night.

*  Read story each night.

*  Continue to work on teach your child how to tie their shoe.  This is not part of our curriculum, but your child needs to have already learned this skill or be working on it. 

*  Please be sure to sign your child's manila homework folder each night.
