Important Announcements:
*The Penny War was a huge success! Thank you so much to each of you for
participating. We will use the money
raised to purchase the food for the food pack.
Also, CertaPro painters has generously agreed to match what we made so
we will have double the amount of food to send and benefit an orphanage in Haiti. We will need parent volunteers for the food
pack on Friday, March 22nd so let me know immediately if you are interested in
helping out!
*Permission slips for our field trips to Micronauts and
McCloud Nature Park were sent home yesterday.
The permission slip and $1 needed
to be returned TODAY.
*We will be going to Micronauts on Wednesday, March 20th. We will be leaving school around 8:45 a.m.
and returning to school by 11:30. Your
child will still be able to eat lunch here at school. If you are volunteering, I will be sending
you a letter so you know what to expect!
*I am doing a reading incentive in the classroom that ends
Friday, March 22nd. Your
child has a sticker chart with 26 spaces on it.
When he/she reads a book and passes a reading counts quiz over the book,
he/she can earn stickers for the chart.
Each book has a point value. Most
books are worth one point, but some of the books are worth two and three
points. A sticker will be awarded for
each point of the book so a book worth two points will receive two
stickers. The first time your child
fills the chart, he/she will earn a reward.
The second time a chart is filled, he/she will be invited to a pizza
party with me. The kids are really
excited about this, and the goal is to encourage them to read as much as
possible!
*The March Book-It calendar was sent home on Monday, March 4th. Your child will need to complete the reading
and return the calendar on Friday, March 22nd.
Happy reading!
*The end of the third nine weeks is quickly
approaching! The end of the nine weeks
is Friday, March 15th. Report
cards will be posted on Friday, March 22nd.
