I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. Please remember that we will take our Writing FSA on tomorrow, Tuesday April 2nd. Students should get to be at a good time tonight and eat a healthy filling breakfast tomorrow morning, because will not have snack until after testing is complete. Students have completed many writing prompts with Ms. Billiard and are ready for the test. If your child is feeling anxious acknowledge their feelings. Discuss with them the steps to writing an essay and remind them that tomorrow will be no different than any other day of writing. Discuss having a Growth Mindset, that this is another way for their brains to learn and grow. Everyone gets nervous before tests, help them channel that nervousness with some deep breathing. Maybe adopt a mantra like, "I am ready. I am prepared".

We will be going to the Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens on this Thursday. We are asking students to wear their class shirts or a JBE shirt. Students also need to wear comfortable walking shoes. They may want to bring a light jacket or sweatshirt too.
Students may bring a camera and water bottle. Students may want to bring a small light backpack to help them carry their belongings. Students will not visit the gift shop, ride the train or the carousel. Students will be allowed to feed the animals. The zoo charges the following prices:
Stingray Feeding $2.00
Giraffe Feeding $2.00
Lorikeet Feeding $1.00
This week in math we will work on ordering decimals. We will also work on using the four operations to solve word problems involving decimals. This will include problems involving intervals of time, money, and distances.
This week in science we will begin our next unit, space. This week will learn about Earth's movements (rotation and revolution). We will also learn why the sun and other stars appear to move across the nights sky. Did you know people in the northern hemisphere see completely different constellations? This is because Earth is in the way.
In this unit we will also learn why the moon appears to be different shapes. Students are beginning a new project today. Students will keep track of the moon's appearance for 1 month. Students were given a calendar in class today. Their completed calendar is due on Friday May 3rd. Since the moon is not always visible students are encouraged to use https://stardate.org/ to help keep track of the moons appearance. Students may also come in to the classroom before school to copy my calendar.
This week in social studies students will read chapter 7 lesson 2, Florida's Agriculture. In this lesson students will read about the importance of citrus industry for our state. Students will also learn about the timber and cattle industries in our state. Students have one sheet to complete for homework this week.
