Happy St. Patrick's Day!  The class had a surprise visit from a leprechaun this morning!  We found tiny, green footprints all over the desks and tables when we arrived at school.  It was awesome!  He/she also left everyone a gold marble!  Students wrote thank you letters to the leprechaun and we're hoping we hear back from him/her soon.  :)

The spelling rule this week involves the sounds of y.  The vowel y in a closed syllable has the short i sound.  The vowel y in an open syllable or at the end of a word has a long e or i sound.  Students will have a Spelling Cafe choice each night for homework.

We will continue to work on fractions this week.  Students will have a worksheet for homework each night.  They will be given an assessment on Thursday to check for understanding in regard to fractions.

Scholastic book orders went home today.  All checks and order forms are due back by April 14th.  Remember you can order online using our classroom code HB244.  As always, please contact me with any questions or concerns.

Have a wonderful week!  :)
