Week of April 11

    

Hippity, hoppity, spring break is finally on its way!

Here are a few notices:

• Easter egg hunt with all lower elementary students at Brown House on Thursday from 10:00-10:30.  A permission slip went home Friday, so please return it as soon as possible.
• Please send in 12 filled plastic eggs so that each child can "hunt" for at least a dozen.
• Early release Thursday, starting at 12:30!  
• School resumes on Monday, April 25.

Academics:

• History test Monday.  A study guide went home Friday and I told the students they could also bring their history books home.  The test will also have US state geography, except the states in the west region.
• No Bible memory this week.
• No spelling test.  I will assign something to use as a grade this week, but it will be open book.
• In math, we'll be moving up to the ten and eleven multiplication tables, so please practice all of them at home, if necessary.  I keep telling the students that they have to memorize them and know them in fourth grade.
• Reading homework will be chapter 10 of Secret in the Maple Tree. That may be done over break.

Here are the due dates for the rest of the sections for the Animal Notebook.  As a reminder, the pictures may be from the science notebook itself, the internet, magazines, stickers, or hand-drawn.

The students might want to do the whole thing over Easter break, and that's fine.  They do NOT have to write reports, but should write the characteristics of each.  I would like to see at least two pictures for each page.
