Week of 4/4/11 - 4/8/11

News of the Week
-  4th Quarter will begin this week.  Parent/Teacher conference has been changed to April 14th.

-  Continue reading every day.  Practice decoding words, review dolch words, ask comprehension questions when reading.  Take advantage of writing opportunities and keep your children writing at home.
Remind them to write complete sentences and reread their writing to make sure it makes sense.  Use the Everyday Math workbooks to review math concepts we have completed throughout the year.
