Yes, this Wednesday is Color War. Yes, you may wear knee-length shorts ON COLOR WAR DAY ONLY. You should dress in your team color. No face-paint; no colored hair sprays. Remember: GOOD SPORTSMANSHIP!!

As for the learning:

Spelling/Vocab test on FRIDAY!!! STUDY!!!

Math : We are learning division with remainders and long division. PRACTICE THE BASIC DIVISION FACTS AT HOME!! It will help you with the tougher division problems.

We are really busy with the class business project! We have aprons to finish and ice cream to make! We will sell these products on Wed. May 6 - at the Achievement Fair.

Behavior: We are having problems in our classroom. Please remind your child that - even though we are almost finished with school - WE ARE STILL IN SCHOOL AND ALL THE RULES STILL APPLY!! Privileges will be taken away if rules are not followed!

Homework:

Please check student planners. We are having a "flexible" week.

Welcome Back! We are taking the Achievement Tests.

I hope that you all have had a wonderful Pesach break. We are back "full-force" this week. We will be taking the Achievement Tests EVERY MORNING (9:00-11:30), TUESDAY-FRIDAY this week. It is VERY IMPORTANT that your child arrive to school ON TIME, that your child eats a healthy, filling breakfast EVERY MORNING, and gets a good night's sleep EVERY NIGHT. Doing so will help your child feel more relaxed, alert, and prepared for our marathon testing sessions. There will be NO HOMEWORK this week. Enjoy.
