HAPPY FRIDAY!
It's been a busy week in our classroom! Please read on to see what we've been doing and what we WILL be doing next week.

Language Arts: Sorry about the due date for projects... my fault! I thought we would be done reading our novels but that just wasn't the case. Anyway, I'm looking forward to seeing all of them on Tuesday, April 20th!
Next week we'll be starting to look at Functional Documents - recipes, menus, maps, how-to directions, etc. It's a fun unit - be prepared... your child will be asked to bring some things in to share!

Math: Our new unit starts out with weights and measures. We've been discussing pounds, ounces, grams, and kilograms. Next week we'll be taking about liquid measurement. Thanks to all who help their kids find things to share!

Writing: FINALLY! I have gotten a piece of writing from every student in my class to submit to the UES QUILL! I love (and so do the kids!) seeing their work in print! Be sure to buy one when they become available!

Science: We've got lots of new friends in our room! Ask you child what the name of his group's anole is. We've also just received daphnia and algae. We'll be discussing populations, dispersal, and lots of other stuff! We'll also be planting some seeds and then we'll observe some aphids to see what plant they like the best!

PLEASE MARK YOUR CALENDAR!!! Thursday, April 22 is Math Night here at Urbana Elementary. We've worked really hard to come up with some games and other math-related activities to share with you and your child - PLEASE COME! A flyer will be coming home on Friday to tell you times.

As always - thanks to all of you who check your child's things daily! You make my life soooo much easier! Also, thanks to those who have donated tissues, hand sanitizer, and wipes.
Have a great weekend!
Mrs. Humerick
