State Tests
The students who did not pass the state reading and math test the 1st time will be given a second opportunity next week (April 25th-28th). If your child hasn’t met yet, please encourage them to do their best and read the entries carefully. They receive their scores upon completion of the test so will be able to share them with you. There will be one more opportunity starting May 16th to meet the state standard.
TAKE YOUR CHILD TO WORK
April 28th is “Take Your Child to Work Day”. We will send a form home soon so you can let the us know if you plan to do that. If your child goes to work with you on that day, they will be excused from class work if they complete a journal of their activities. When they return to class, they will share what they learned while visiting your work.
This week we will be reading the 25th story in our reading book, "Space Probes to the Planets" (U5S5). The skill we will be focusing on is Text Structure. Text Structure is the way a piece of writing is organized. Nonfiction tells of real people and events or tells information about the real world. Some ways to organized nonfiction are cause and effect, problem and solution, and compare and contrast. “Space Probes to the Planets “ is nonfiction; it gives information about the real world. The author tells about a problem-its difficult to get the information about the planets. then she explains a solution-we can use space probes to explore far away planets.
The spelling words this week are words that use just enough letters. They are: coming, always, almost, didn‘t, upon, wasn‘t, until, during, want, father, hamster, a lot, ugly, washed, hotel, missed, eleven, crazy, lazy, and feelings. Spelling homework is to use the words in sentences. The students should underline each spelling word. The Tuesday night homework is due on Wednesday.
The vocabulary for this week is: atmosphere, craters, incredible, probes, and spacecrafts.
Reading every night is very important to your child's success in school. Please have them read a minimum of twenty minutes each night. Please sign your initials on their reading calendar. It is a great way for them to visualize their successes and to be a part of our reading celebration here at Weddle.
AAI means “ALL ASSIGNMENTS IN.” If students are focused in class they have time to finish all of their assignments except for Spelling and Math homework. Each Monday I will send home a sheet that will tell you if your child is missing any work in each subject area. Please review it with them Monday night, sign it, and have them return it to class on Tuesday. Anything that shows up missing on that sheet is work that was to be completed in the previous weeks. The students need to complete the work and turn it in to me as soon as possible. The following students were responsible about all of their work in class this term, and are on AAI:
Sydney A.

characteristics of a present-day society to another time, often the future. The author must be creative in writing an imaginative story about his new and unknown place and time. The April book report is due Friday, April 30th.

A map key explains symbols and the scale of miles.

They are: Dad's, girls', baby's, families', brother's, boys', lady's, friend's, teacher's, babies', grandma's, brothers', aunt's, ladies', girl's, teachers', family's grandpa's, boy's, and aunts'.
