Dear Parents,

Last week was amazing! It was my birthday and your sweet wonderful kids threw me surprise party! Everyone was so kind and so sweet! I feel so grateful to have your wonderful students in my class! I’m sure they get their sweetness from you guys!
                                                                                                           
Here is what we are doing in class this week:

Reading: This week we will be focusing again on theme again. We will also review for the DRA. We will do a practice DRA in guided reading groups and then we will start doing DRA tests next week. Our homework is spelling list #27 with homophones Students should still be spending 20 minutes studying their words this week. They should also be reading 20 minutes a night and filling out their reading logs.

Math: This week we will be taking our last math test! Monday will be our math test and then we will spend the rest of the week reviewing what we have learned this year. We will be making a folder and a flipbook to review each of the concepts we have learned this year.

Social Studies: This week in social studies we will continue learning about the economy. We will focus on the economy in Utah and different jobs people have in Utah. We will also start studying for our end of the year Social Studies test. Students will be given a study guide this week in class. We will study a little in school but students should mostly be studying at home. If students know everything on the study guide, they will do great on the test! The questions on the test come directly from the study guide.
