Dear Families,
Welcome back! We are in our final stretch of the school year.
The students will be presenting their biome projects to each other during social studies. Each student has become an expert on one biome and they will present their information to the class.
We are finishing up our opinion unit and will be starting another narrative unit in writing. Our focus in reading will be on the genre, mystery. This genre is very fun and the students will have the opportunity to read lots of mysteries in class.
During the next couple weeks, the students will be practicing for SBAC testing. They will become comfortable with the computer format of the testing and composing an essay on the computer.
Before break, the students made large paper flowers with their kinderbuddies. They are hanging in the school gym.

Monday News
Dear Families,
Monday is our Spring Arts Night at 6:00.
We will have an all-school celebration on Tuesday. The whole school will watch a movie at Main Street Landing. The movie choice is a surprise, but it will be an educational movie. Students are going to enjoy seeing it on the BIG SCREEN!
We are finishing up our opinion writing unit. Some children chose persuasive pieces to inspire change in the world around them. Other students chose personal essays to teach others about a noteworthy person, place, thing or idea.
In social studies, the students are finishing their report on a biome. When they are complete, students will teach each other about the biome they studied.
In reading, students are being Fluency Partners.
Our focus in outdoor classroom on Thursday will be "creating a bird friendly space". We will be working with Rae from Audubon to create a bird friendly garden at BPMS!
There will not be a book project for the month of April. May will be a poetry book project and June will be to create a food that is inspired by your book.
Enjoy your week, Mrs. Carter
