May 2-6, 2011

Hope everyone had a wonderful Spring Break. This week we will finish off testing with the English Language Arts section of the CST. Testing will resume on Tuesday, May 3 and finish on Thursday, May 5. Please be sure your child had an ample breakfast and snack. Testing will happen at 9:30 each day. Homework again will be minimal. Math will be sent home nightly, but students only need to do 1 word problem on the back.

Students will begin working on their famous american reports today. Most students picked their person before Spring Break and already gathered an article of research from the computer lab. We will begin paragraph 1 today and continue with a paragraph each day. If your child is unable to finish in class, it will be sent home for homework.

Lit Circles will also continue this week. We will go until the end if the school year. I will not need any other classroom volunteers(besides lit circles) this week due to testing.

Next week on May 12 we are going on a field trip to the Ag History Museum in Watsonville. If you signed up to drive I will send a reminder next week. Please send in $3:00 to cover the cost. Our end of the year party is also coming up on Wednesday, June 1. All classes are asking for $5:00 to cover the cost of food. Permission forms will be sent home soon.

Have a great week!
