Dear Parents,

I hope you all had a wonderful spring break! I sure enjoyed a little rejuvenation! I have a feeling the rest of this year is just going to fly. Thank you all for making me feel so appreciated last week. You were all so thoughtful. I really feel lucky to be able to be with your kids everyday.

Here are a few things going on in our class this week:

Reading: I have started to do the final reading testing of the year this week. So far I have been so excited with the progress that has been made. I hope you are seeing it too!

Writing: I have been letting the students do some free writing of their choice this week. They have been writing stories about whatever comes into their mind, and they are pretty hilarious.

Math: Graphing/Measurement

Science: We have been discussing life cycles this week. We are going to be getting caterpillars hopefully on Friday of this week. We will have them in our classroom for the next few weeks, and we will be observing them as they go through their life cycle. I think this will be a lot of fun!

I also just wanted to remind you of raz-kids.com. There are hundreds of books online with comprehension questions that go along with them. The books can be found by level.  It really is an amazing resource- Take advantage of it!

Let me know if you have any questions. See you soon!

Miss Jensen
