- The class will continue working on our Daily 5 procedures.  
- The class will continue working on our Writer's Workshop procedures.

Homework begins the week. 
The homework calendar is in your child's Ocean binder. Your child's First in Math username and password will come home this week.  

I will be sending home a Scholastic Reading Club flyer this week.  To order books for your child visit the Scholastic website at scholastic.com/readingclub .  I will not be collecting money.  All orders must be placed online.  Our class activation code is GTPKB.  

I will also be sending home a flyer for Highlights.  Please check yes or no, sign your name, and return the flyer to school.  Our class will receive games or supplies depending on how many signed flyers are returned, no matter the number of yes or no replies.  

Thanks for all your support!
