Reading: All Room 13 reading students need to be ready to be tested on Chapters 4 and 5 in Sarah, Plain and Tall on Friday. Students with reading folders also need a parent signature. We will be taking the Oaks Statewide Assessment in Reading next week, so I plan to collect the books on Friday. I will not be assigning reading or spelling homework next week. We will be testing in the morning, Monday through Friday.
Math: Decimals pages 50 and 51 (2-sided).
Other: The week of April 11-15 is Bring a Loved One to Lunch Day at Ridgeview. Fourth grade loved ones will have lunch with their students at our regular time, 12:15, on April 14. A green sign up sheet was sent home with Room 13 students today. It needs to be filled out and returned on Monday, April 4, so we can prepare for our guests.

Math: We started a worksheet on Equal Fractions after working with fraction strips quite a bit in class. Students have now learned the cross-multiply strategy and are encouraged to use it on page 13, as well as on tonight's practice sheets #83 and #86 (which is double-sided). Students who did not finish page 13 in class were allowed to bring it home to finish it. Calculators are allowed on these practice sheets.

Happy Friday!
Friday: I hope everyone has a great spring break. Parents, please note that your student's progress report was sent home on Wednesday, March 16. Also, a "No Weekly Report" half sized sheet was sent home today. I did this because I was absent on Thursday and Progress Reports were just sent home.
As we start Term 3, I want to remind parents to look for Weekly Reports on Friday, Assignment Sheets and CCC's on Monday, Math on Tuesday and Thursday, and Spelling Sentences on Wednesday. Thank you for your efforts in helping your student with the daily practice all students need. Students should also read about 15-20 minutes each night. Students with reading folders are asked to get a parent signature each night.

Spelling Homework: CCC for the spelling words for "Heat Wave" Theme 3.
I have added math to Monday night's homework because most students in my math class need extra practice in computing the area and perimeter of complex figures. We have worked on these types of problems in class as a group. This is an opportunity for students to independently practice this skill.
