Weekly Update 03/22/13


Important Announcements:

*This week has been very busy for us!  We had a great time at Micronauts on Wednesday, March 20th.  I would like to thank Mrs. Carmin, Mrs. Cookerly, Ms. Harris, and Mr. Sylva for chaperoning and making our field trip a success! 

*We did our Kids Against Hunger food pack today.  The kids did a fantastic job packing food, and we are very excited to be able to benefit an orphanage in Haiti! 

*I am doing a reading incentive in the classroom that ends TODAY!  The sticker charts will be updated the Monday we get back from spring break, and I will be inviting the kids that earned the pizza party sometime after break. 

*Yesterday I sent home a paper about a reading incentive from Mrs. Greene.  Please encourage your child to read for 20 minutes 10 days over break.  If your child completes this and returns it to school, he/she will be invited to a special luncheon with Mrs. Greene. 

*Report cards are available starting today.  This was the first week of the fourth nine weeks grading period.  This school year seems to be flying by! 

*Have a happy spring break!  I will be staying near home and working on some projects.  I hope that whatever you do, you are able to relax, enjoy, and keep safe!  See you April 8th!
