March 28-April 1

It is the first mild day of March:
Each minute sweeter than before...
There is a blessing in the air,
Which seems a sense of joy to yield
To the bare trees, and mountains bare,
And grass in the green field...
We from to-day, my Friend, will date
The opening of the year.
Love, now an universal birth,
From heart to heart is stealing,
From earth to man, from man to earth:
—It is the hour of feeling.
~William Wordsworth

We will finish Unit 6 in math tomorrow.  Students will study for the test on Wednesday and a review packet will go home for homework that night.  The test will be given the following day.  Please look for the Unit 7 Family Letter in your child's folder this week.  Our next unit involves fractions.

Our spelling rule this week focuses on the sounds of y.  Students will have a Spelling Cafe choice each night for homework. 

Thank you to all my parent volunteers this week as well as to those who have donated to Operation Lesvos.  I really appreciate the support and generosity of everyone involved.  Thank you to Erin Pastore for her help with this special project as well.  

Have a wonderful week!  :)
