Week of April 6, 2010

Welcome back from spring break! It is a perfect week to review previous skills in our reading series. Look for skills such as sequencing, cause and effect, and author's purpose to be reinforced in this week's lessons. The spelling list is also a review of previous learned spelling patterns.

We will start our Alton History lessons this week. Students will be presented with information about Alton's past and present. Please be sure to return permission slip and $1 for student entry to the Alton History Museum. Our walking morning trip will be on Friday, April 16th.

We spent time before the break reviewing and sharpening our math skills. Please continue to check through all math homework. Having skills reinforced at home is very powerful!

As always please read, and check agendas each night. Thanks for all your support! Below are assignments and word lists for the week.
