Please continue working on the new Math IXL web-site. Passwords and Usernames were sent home on Saturday, so you should have everything you need. We only have access for 2 more weeks. It's an excellent review and it also gives your child a chance to practice reading directions, which is a very helpful skill for this time of year! To date, we have answered 2,000 questions. The students love to get a medal at the end of the session, if they've worked to be successful on the questions.
Science Projects: Continue working on individual science projects for the School-Wide Science Fair which will be held on May 1st & 2nd. I sent home an informational packet on Science Inquiry and the Scientific Method right before spring break, which should be very helpful.
Good luck. :-)
Student-Led Portfolio Conferences are now scheduled for Thursday, the April 17th and individual conferences on Friday, the 18th of April can be requested by you by simply contacting me @ elizabeth.petty@eu.dodea.edu . Name your time and I'll confirm your appointment time via e-mail or a phone call.
Please make certain you bring your child (student in our class only, please) to this Portfolio Conference. They are the guide for parents for the day and will take you to different places in the room to show you how they're doing and some of the work they've accomplished so far this year. I'm really looking forward to seeing you on that day.

Please send in your used, unwanted books that your child no longer uses or needs. The PTSA will be holding their Annual Book Swap. Please count the books inside the bag and place your child's name and the # of books on the outside of the bag where it is visible. Tie the bag in a double knot and send into school.
This is how it works:
1. Your child brings in a bag of books to swap 1 for 1.
2. The books are counted and the number is given to the PTSA
3. Students who bring books to exchange will go to the book exchange and choose NEW/OLD books that are 'new' and different for their interests and level of reading.
4. This is one of the best opportunities they'll have to trade their less used books for books they can enjoy over the summer.
They more they bring, the more they swap!!! Enjoy and participate!!!
THANK YOU PTSA!!!

Please continue sending in water bottles (with name somewhere on the bottle) and snack, especially if your student hasn't had any breakfast.
Your continued support on the use of the homework links is imperative. It is time to think of marking some of the links as favorites on your home computer for use over the summer. We've learned so much, but we have more to accomplish.
Continue to read and listen to your child read their Reading Counts and Library books.
