I hope that everyone had an enjoyable and relaxing Spring Break.

There were many things sent home today.

• A school "Lunch to Go" form needs to be filled out and returned by Thursday if you would like for your child to purchase a school lunch for the Brewers game.
• A note about the state, Forward Test, lists all the dates and times that we will be testing.  We will begin on Wednesday.
• The book, Confessions of a Former Bully, was sent home as part of a family read.  Ms. Ludwig will be visiting our school and we would like students familiar with her work.  Please read the book, fill out the feedback form and return the book by Friday.  The books will then be shared with the 5th grade.

Your child was sent a chess game online today.  There are many studies linking chess to gains in both reading and math.  I am at the very beginning level of playing chess but many of my students were quite good.  Your child has the link in their email to two different chess games to play against the computer. 

Students have been reminded that if they have any missing work they will be sitting by a teacher on the bus to and from the Brewers game to complete the work.  Your child should know if they have any missing work.  Please make sure that they are keeping up with their work to avoid this.
