Students from Project Challenge have started a fundraiser for the ASPCA, a foundation to stop animal cruelty. The kids will be selling Smencils® (scented pencils) for a $1.00 each. The pencils will be sold each morning in the grade level areas. The sales will start Friday, April 30th and go through May 28th.
We will track our sales on the bulletin board by the multi-purpose room. For every twenty dollars we raise, one food bowl will go up on the bulletin board. So please help save our animals. Buy Smencils.

Can't you help me?
Here is the upcoming week in a nutshell:
MATH
My math group will be testing on measurement (chapter 22) on Tuesday, May 4. Students will be required to memorize the measurement tables we have been working with throughout this chapter. Then, we will begin perimeter and circumference.
LANGUAGE ARTS
Our class will continue working on the strategies we have been practicing throughout the year, as well as, finishing up our poetry unit. We will be assembling individual poetry books which will include our favorite poems we have written and some from famous poets.
In spelling, lesson 28 final test will be on Thursday, May 6.
The chapter 6 test on pronouns is on Monday, May 3. We will be reviewing in the morning and taking the test in the afternoon. Students will be reviewing specific lessons (7, 3 and 2) over the weekend which have provided some difficulty for them.
SOCIAL STUDIES
The chapter 11 test has been postponed to Friday, May 7. Students have the opportunity to write notes on one side of a 5 x 7 notecard which they can use for the test.
SCIENCE
Students will be taking the Chapter 14 Science test on Tuesday, May 4. Because this is such a "test filled" week, students will have the same opportunity they have in social studies to use a notecard for the test.
Have a wonderful week! Can you believe only 22 days left? Where did the year go?
