Week 31

Welcome back to a short school week! We were able to pick up where we left off and continue practicing for the upcoming math test on May 2nd, 3rd and 4th. In the past few days, we have practiced some of the trickier times tables and found that the review was helpful to us. It would be great if each child took a few minutes each day to review the multiplication facts that have been more challenging ( 4, 6, 7, 8 and 9) and to also practice them as division facts (instead of saying 7x8= ?, have you child solve 56 divided by 7= ?)

Please be on the lookout for our new PS 154 T-shirt. A flyer went home before the vacation with information on how to purchase the new shirt. This shirt is to be worn during school trips, especially the upcoming June Field Day. If you need a second copy of the flyer, please ask your child to bring one home on Monday.

Here's what else to expect for next week:

• We will have Dance class on Monday and Thursday of next week.
• We are visiting the Armory on Tuesday.
• On Wednesday, Third graders will be visited by authors and illustrators Ted and Betsy Lewin. This list will help launch our study of Africa. Ted and Betsy will share their adventures in the Impenetrable Forest of Africa, which was detailed in their book, Gorilla Walk. 

Have an excellent weekend!
