Week of March 7-11

Castle projects are due on Friday, March 11! This is also a 12:30 dismissal day. The students are really enjoying learning about why castles were built and all of the special features they had. On Friday we will spend some time playing with our castles.
This week we will begin Unit 8 in math. We will learn about the dollar and spend more time counting money. We will also begin to learn about fractions.
We have begun Unit 5 in our Scott Foresman series. Only one more unit to go! This week we will begin an author/illustrator study of Marc Brown. We love his character, Arthur. We will have the puppet show set up as a center so we can use Marc Brown's characters to do some puppet shows.
Thank you to those who are participating in the math-a-thon. We have all been working on our math-a-thon books in school.
Please remember that Monday, March 14 is also a 12:30 dismissal day.
Have a great week!
