Dear Parents,

We are having an exciting week! We are wrapping up our Matter Planner and getting ready to begin our Resources Planner. We are working on "Object Writing", addition and subtraction strategies, map skills, and revision/editing.

Just a reminder about homework:
Please expect to see Spelling, Reading Log, and another assignment (usually Math) Monday - Thursday. I also ask that student's get their agenda signed each day so I know that you are aware of homework assignments and announcements. Conduct charts and graded papers are sent home on Tuesdays and I ask that the students return them on Wednesdays. The students have gotten a little relaxed about these classroom procedures. If you could please help me keep them on their toes I would appreciate it!

Thank you for your support with the class pet. The students are showing a great deal of excitement about raising money for their turtle. I hope this is not an inconvenience to you. Please know you do not have to participate. Depending on how much the students raise we will get a pet turtle, or a less expensive pet if needed. We will work however much is raised.

This week's spelling words:
1. America
2. Asia
