Hello Parents,

Sorry, you haven't heard from me in a bit...it's been a rough week for me health-wise...I was hit hard on Monday with a 24 hour flu bug, but things are back to a go!

SCIENCE - Today was the final quiz on erosion.  I will be sending it home for you to review, sign and return. 


Language Quiz - Friday's language quiz will be solely on nouns.  Students are expected to identify the nouns - both proper and common in a sentence.  I will send home their yellow language duo tangs for review Thursday night.

Reading Pouches - Ok campers, it's time to show you have what it takes!   I have been checking on each camper's monthly reading minutes since September making sure they are all reading on a regular basis so that they will be on track to achieve our year end goal of 3000 minutes. However, it is the half-way point in the year.  Those campers who make reading a priority will achieve their 3000 minute goal.  They will be rewarded with a lunch of their choice by me at the end of the year!  So, parents, make sure to sign each and every reading entry.  Only those campers who submit their completed reading logs in June will be treated to lunch.  No tears if this goal isn't achieved.  It takes responsibility and commitment every school night to dedicate 20 minutes to reading.  Not shocking at all - but there is a STRONG correlation between consistent readers and overall reading success!  Remember, students are expected to ready for 20 minutes a night ANYWAYS.  Just saying...lol.  I will be collecting all of my black pouches in June (if misplaced, please purchase a replacement  at any dollar store).   YOU have the power, campers!  Dig deep and read!

MUSIC:  Please ensure that your child keeps his/her recorder in their backpacks at all times.  We will be committing to music on the recorders every Friday until the end of the year. 

That's all for now!
