Please respond to:  Roberta Lerman (rl@taosnet.com) if you may be interested.  Thank you.

This week we will have Math Club on Friday instead of Thursday.  The same will be true next week and then we should go back to our Thursday schedule.

Parents, you should have seen your child's progress report by now.  They were sent home a week ago.  Please let me know if you would like to discuss your child's progress over the phone or in a conference.

Due to our earlier ending date for this school year, our end-of-the-year field trip to the Wildlife Center and bowling in Espanola will be moved forward one week (from May 18th to May 11th).  Please consider joining us.

Thanks to Rick Collignon, Milo and Julian's dad, for talking to us about his writing career.  It was very inspiring!

Homework for this week includes reading each night in your contract book.

Tuesday:  Storytown pages 133-145

Math HomeLink 8-1

Wednesday:  Storytown pages 135-136

Math HomeLink 8-2

Thursday:  Writing activity from class

Math HomeLink 8-3
