One Last Writing Project

Last week we started painting paper to use for collage books about NH animals.  Students worked hard on researching their animals and starting to make their collage pages.  We will continue working on the stories this week.  Hopefully we will be able to finish them before the end of the year.

Homework for Week of May 28 - June 1

Students should choose at least 2 afternoons during the week and one weekend day to do a whole session of xtramath.org with the Beat the Teacher section.  They can choose which nights they would like to go on and they can always do extra days.  It is very important for students to know their math facts.  If your child does not have access to xtramath then they can practice with flashcards or with a game if you have one that practices the facts.

Students should be practicing their play parts and songs daily.  Scripts should stay in their binders so they can be used at school.
