Field Trip - Permission slips for our field trip to the Merrillville Planetarium are in your child’s Friday Folder.  Please sign and return the bottom portion with the $2.00 by Monday, May 8.  Our classroom has its two chaperones.  Thank you to everyone who volunteered.  I wish we could take more of you; however, there is limited seating in the planetarium auditorium.

ISTEP - We will have two more ISTEP tests next week.  Both of them are language arts.  We will take one on Monday, and one on Tuesday.  Please make sure your child gets a good night’s sleep on Sunday and Monday nights.

Reading - Next week we’ll be reading the story “Good-Bye 382 Shin Dang Dong .”  We’ll be reviewing the skill of sequencing.  Our vocabulary words are:

Spelling - Next week’s words come from the story “Good-Bye 382 Shin Dang Dong.”   They have the vowel patterns of  a, au, aw, al, augh, and ought.  The spelling words are:   because, would, fought, though, author, should, taught, could, faucet, bought, enough, daughter, touch, sausage, brought, sought, thought.

Math - We’ll be learning about probability next week.  We’ll be doing some activities and experiments that deal with probability.  It should be fun!
