THEME: Please look in your child’s Monday folder for permission slips to two more field trips we have coming up in May.

Please encourage your child to work on his/her States Fair project. It is quite extensive and it would not be a good idea to wait too long to start working on it. It is due on May 28^th.

Last week: We learned the capitals, major industries, major geographical features, national parks of Alaska, Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, and Colorado. The final test is on Tuesday, April 29^th.

Coming up: We will play a review game on Monday to prepare for the states test. On Wednesday, we will begin studying the Solar System. This will be our final science/social studies unit this year.
