Weekly Update


Thanks to everyone for the support and encouragement during this crazy tummy-bug week. 
The girls handled it all in stride, and we are looking forward to a much more normal week starting on Monday. 

We have enjoyed reading Flora and Ulysses this week. It is nice to see Flora begin to...hope! In math, we are reviewing topics we covered over the school year, such as geometry, area, perimeter, angles, long division, fractions, decimals and more. Hopefully, the girls remember all of these important math concepts! The girls are doing a good job learning their states and capitals. Next week, we will focus on the MidWest Region:



BOOK FAIR is May 8  1:30-1:50
Hope you will join us!
New books would be perfect for next Monday's Read-In.
