involving measuring. We will be reviewing measurement and will probably be
ready to take our test late this week.

begin to explore North America. We will be talking about Earth Day and what we
can do to help our planet.
Cursive: We have finished our clock climbers and are working on
our kite string letters.
Ways you can help at home: Explore which country
your child would like to read and write about for the writing assignment. Have
your child practice his/her narrative story about a ride out loud for you. We
are working on stretching out the main event with thoughts, observation, action,
dialogue and sounds. Read and discuss stories together.
