Dear Families of Room 11,
Listed below are the important reminders and objectives for our week.  Please let me know if you have any questions.  Thanks!

Important Reminders:

• Dress in your Flyers gear this Monday the 14th to celebrate our MAP testing theme "Home Town Pride"
• We do not have school this Friday, April 18th.

Weekly Objectives:

Writing:  During writer's workshop this week we are going to continue our unit on Poetry.  This week students are going to experiment with the structure of their poetry!

Reading: During reader's workshop we are going to continue talking about the three levels that good readers use to question a text.  The third level that we will focus on this week is "Thinking About a Text".  Students will think about the purpose of the author's writing as we look closely at poetry.

Science:  We are going to continue studying earth's materials.  On Wednesday we will have the chapter test.  Vocabulary review cards will be coming home with your child on Tuesday night.  Please review these with your child to prepare for the test on Wednesday!

Math:  This week we are going to begin Chapter 19: Solid Figures.  We will identify the characteristics of a sphere, cone, cylinder, cube, pyramid, and rectangular prism!  

Have a great week!
