April Newsletter
Curriculum
Math: Mr. Barnes will be working on Envision Math
Topics, Math Fact All Stars, Aleks Math, and the Math Skill Tests to check for
student growth.
Spelling/Vocabulary: Spelling and vocabulary
lists will be given for each FULL week this month. Spelling Tests will usually
be every Friday. We will correct ALL spelling work in class on Thursday, so
students need to be prepared with the assignment done! Students have access to
their spelling lists located in the SCHOOL TO HOME section on their Wonders Web
site (connect ed)! They need to be STUDYING THE WORDS BEFORE FRIDAY TESTS!
Reading:
We will be
reading the basal and working on fluency, comprehension, text structure and
text analysis. Remember that each Wednesday is BASAL HOMEWORK NIGHT! Students
need to bring their basal/Chrome Book home to reread the story and have a
parent sign on their reading record. Make
sure your student is doing 20 min of reading Sun-Thurs with a parent signature
on their reading record sheet.
*Each
week, students who complete their reading with 5 parent signatures, turned in
ON TIME, will receive 1 Read to Ride ticket for the end of the year bike
drawing.
Writing: We will practice the
writing process, the six +1 traits of writing, and language arts will be
integrated into this subject. We will also continue to practice the Four Square
Method of organizing writing. We are now reviewing Expository and Argumentative
Writing for the upcoming SAGE test!

to be a current picture of your student! We will also accept any other photos
that have been taken throughout the students’ time at school. I am looking for
a lot of group photos showing the kids doing various school and extracurricular
activities to add to the slide show! The more pictures the better the slide
show is!
