Bill's Class

I hope that everyone had a restful 4 day weekend last week. Just a quick reminder that we are petitioning for prop 39 school sites. The school site that was given to us is in an undesirable location and is virtually unusable for our current needs. We are encouraging all staff, parents, and students to sign a form letter stating our wish to be offered a more suitable site. We are also going to encourage parents and students to be present at the official board meeting on Tuesday, March 23. It will be held sometime in the evening. I am not sure of the exact time as of yet.
I would like to congratulate all the hard work our class did on finishing up our "What's the Matter?" I would like to also thank all of you who came out on family night to see our presentations. I would like to see more participation on these nights. The students worked very hard getting things ready for the event and unfortunately, we had very little parent turnout. So be sure next time to support you child and his or her classmates.
For language arts we are continuing with our personal narratives and our weekly wordly wise. You can visit worldywise.com for more games and activities to support the weekly activities. We are also continuing to read the Mixed-up files of Mrs. Basil.
For math we are dividing and working with fractions with unlike denominators. We have even created a song about adding fractions. Ask you child to sing the song for you.
For our next project we are going to be looking at early explorers. The project will be called "Enterprizing Entrepenures."
