April 11-15

"There is no glory in star or blossom till looked upon by a loving eye; There is no fragrance in April breezes till breathed with joy as they wander by."  William Bryant

Students enjoyed reading The Patchwork Path - A Quilt Map to Freedom with their Reading Buddies this morning. This book by Bettye Stroud is based on a story given to Jacqueline Tobin by African American quilter Ozella McDaniel Williams.  It describes how slaves used quilts to communicate on the Underground Railroad and was passed down orally from grandmother to mother to daughter.

Our spelling rule this week involves sounds of ie and ei.  It is a tough rule for students to master.  I encourage students to practice their words regularly at home.  They will have a Spelling Cafe choice each night for homework.

We will continue working with fractions in math this week.  Students will represent fractions on number lines and identify fractions that are greater then, less than and equal to one on a number line.  They will also compare fractions using visual models.  Students will have a Home Link each night for homework.

Please sign and return your child's gold report card envelope at your earliest convenience.  Thank you to those who have already passed it in.  Thank you to my parent volunteers as well!

Have a fantastic week!  :)
