March 23 - April 6th - Spring Break

This week, and next week, I am assessing your children during our reading block, therefore, the books that are coming home may look slightly different because I am allowing your child to pick his/her own books.  I will be assessing to see if your child can pick a "Just Right Book." Remember that a just right book is a book that  is not too hard and not too easy.  If your child misses more that 5 words on a page, the book is too difficult.  

Wanted:

For the month of March, I like to use Lucky Charm cereal to teach and reinforce math skills, so any box donated to the class is appreciated.  Also, if you see gold coins, that are really bubble gum or chocolate, I like to use these to reinforce good habits and kindness to others.  Anything that is seasonal is appreciated. (Don't say anything, but the class thinks Leprechauns are leaving these treats!!)

Specials next week:  music
