The fourth and fifth grades will be doing a joint poetry unit right after spring break, so I have made a few changes to the calendar due dates for the third trimester. If you still have you copy of the class calendar, you will want to make the changes too!

The 1st genre book AR test and worksheet is due April 14.
The poetry readings are due the week of April 28.
The 2nd genre book AR test and worksheet is due May 5.

We will start doing genre book projects as soon as we are done with the poetry readings, probably on May 5 or 6. Each child has two book projects, so they should plan to be ready on May 5 for the first book and by May 14 for the second.

We will start doing the oral book projects right after we finish the genre book projects, probably right after Memorial Day. 

The meeting is ON for the fifth grade parents, March 24, starting at 5:30 PM, in my room at Suquamish. We will all chip in for pizza. I will bring brownies. You will bring whatever you want to drink (nonalcoholic, of course).

About five parents have signed up for individual conferences so far. Don't forget to get your preferences to me: Do you want an individual conference at this time? Do you prefer Wednesday evening or Friday morning?

Thanks!
