12 balloons to go! It's going by soooo fast! I know it's the end of the school year when kids typically lose their minds, but if you can talk to them at home about it not being summer break (yet), that would be helpful! The kids have had so much fun with the countdown and I really enjoyed being "Mrs. Cheesypoof" yesterday! 

In Math, we are wrapping up Unit 14 and will take the practice assessment Thursday. Friday is the spelling assessment for those who missed any words on their practice assessment. Yesterday, we started to learn about the collapse of the Roman Empire and we will wrap up the Unit with our opinion pieces on whether Julius Caesar was a traitor or hero and the story of Androcles and the Lion.  We will not begin another unit but instead we will focus on making sure we're mastering the grammar and writing skills we need for fourth grade!
