Success in the Savana, May 3

Dear Parents:

            We have had a good week.  Academically we concluded our unit on exploration and started learning new measurements in math (volume and weight).  We shared some science fun with Mrs. Strickland as the students learned about matter and the various changes that it can undergo.  In reading, we have selected literature circle books and are eagerly beginning those clubs in the classroom.  In writing, we are busy writers and editors finishing the second product of the last quarter – a piece related to our visit to the Imagination Stage last week.  Overall, it was another busy week with many successes.

As you know our SOL testing will begin in a couple of weeks.  The children have been working on review packets in class and computer practice will be provided as well.  So far the children have told me they are enjoying the practice and are pleased with their results.  If you have any further questions about these tests, please let me know.  Most review will be done in the classroom but some review will be sent home.  Thank you for your support in this effort. 

The coming weeks are full of various events.  Below are just a few to put on your calendar.
