May 1-24th Young Authors and More!

This week there will be no spelling words, due to Field day and Carnival.
Instead we are reading different versions of the 3 little pigs and comparing and contrasting the differences in the stories.
For Homework students have written in their planner.
They will be receiving a Math Sheet every night (except Field Day)
Each Day I have also given them something to work on for their Young Author's Book.
I would like all of the students to participate.
Field Day Thursday--all day (unless it rains) send in sunscreen and a change of dry clothes just in case.
Carnival Friday -from 1-2 
Monday--Think of an idea and start your writing
