April 28 News!

Progress Reports will be going home today! Please sign and return as soon as possible.
We have one more day of ISTEP! Students will be finished tomorrow morning! Thank you for making sure your child is getting adequate sleep and eating a healthy breakfast. It makes a huge difference.
On Friday, April 30, we will have a 1:00 dismissal! There will be no NYO. Please make arrangements to pick up your child!
On Friday, May 7, the 3rd-8th grades will be attending an Indiana Fever Game. This event is to celebrate the end of ISTEP and to congratulate all of our students on their successes. We are so proud of them!
During the month of May, students will have the option to read Bridge to Terabithia or Pictures of Hollis Woods. They will read the books independently, answer questions, and discuss these questions in their groups. I will allow students to take an AR quiz on the book because they are reading them independently.
We will begin our unit on measurement on Monday. Students will be able to measure to the nearest ½, ¼, and 1/8 of an inch by the end of our unit. They will also be able to convert units of measurement. This will most likely be our last math unit for the year!
In social studies, students are learning how Hoosiers helped in World War I and World War II.
In English, we will begin our unit on end punctuation. Students will discuss where to place commas, periods, exclamation points, etc. in phrases and sentences. This unit will take us to the end of the year!
In religion, we continue to study in depth the Seventh, Eighth, and Tenth Commandment.
Students will complete one more review unit in vocabulary! For the remainder of the year, students will have spelling tests on Friday! A list of words will come home each Monday!
I hope you and your family have a wonderful weekend!
