Today is the first day of the 4th quarter. I will get grades printed on Wednesday and will send them home with your child on Thursday.
The Scholastic book order is due this Wednesday, March 20. Some of you have already ordered online already, I will place the order on Thursday, March 21.
Alec and Cason have been reading towards our 100-book challenge. They have each read 80 books. They are so close to the goal. Remember that I will end the challenge on Friday, May 17th.
We just finished the book Flat Stanley. My students really enjoyed his adventures. As a follow up to this book, I will be sending home a Flat Stanley assignment. Look for it early next week.
This Thursday, March 21st, is the Science Fair and Spring Art Show. You are welcome to come to the school at 6:30 and observe the wonderful science fair projects, as well as look at the art from each classroom that will cover the gym walls.
I sent home a Field Trip permission slip last week about our Easter Egg Hunt on Tuesday, March 26. Thanks to those that have already sent candy-filled Easter eggs for our hunt. Remember we asked for a donation of 12 candy-filled eggs. Please send those with your child this week and THANK YOU!
Today is my birthday and your children, my students, have been so cute and kind as they wished me Happy Birthday, numerous times. I am a lucky teacher!
Happy Reading!

Newsletter March 11 - 15
Tomorrow, Spring pictures are scheduled. Your child's picture will only be taken if you send back an order form with the amount enclosed.
I am still working on items that we discussed at SEP conferences. Please give me a couple more days to get those things done and sent home with your child. For example, I told some of you that I would send home extra books for your child to read for the 100-book challenge, or that I would copy off fluency passages or nonsense words. Please feel free to contact me anytime with concerns. SEP conferences are not the only time that we can discuss the needs of your child.
I sent home a Dual Immersion survey permission slip home a couple of weeks ago. Mrs. Sauceda's son is investigating the effects of Dual Immersion classrooms vs. traditional classrooms for an SUU project. I am going to send those home again because I haven't received many back. If you would like your child to participate please send the note back signed, or if not sign that you would not like them to participate.
Tomorrow I will send home the March Scholastic book orders. Those will be due on Wednesday, March 20th. I have a link on this blog where you can quickly access the site to order books online, which is the easiest way to order.
On Tuesday, March 26 at 11:30, Mrs. Wininger's class is going to join us for a picnic and Easter Egg Hunt at the Canyon Park. For that hunt we are asking for each child to donate one dozen plastic eggs filled with candy. If you could also tape your eggs so that they won't open up that would be great. You can start sending those candy-filled eggs anytime until Tuesday, March 26. We also need parent volunteers to help deliver the eggs to the park and help "hide" them. We need parents that day at 11:00. If you could help that day please let me know. We will leave the school at 11:30 and first have the Easter Egg hunt and then enjoy a sack lunch at the park. I will send home a permission slip by the end of the week.
Friday, March 15 is the end of the 3rd quarter. I know, I can't believe it either! I will not accept late work after that date.
Last week, we had green eggs and ham for Dr. Seuss' birthday. Check out the line up of students getting seconds and thirds. I had some students tell me "You are the best "cooker" ever!" Happy Reading and enjoy your child in this spring-like weather.

Newsletter March 4 - 8
Thanks to all of you for making time to come to your child's SEP conference this week. I enjoy meeting with all of you. Remember that school dismisses at 2:30 everyday this week, including Wednesday.
If you child has not passed off Sight Word List #7, I will be testing them this week on that list. February's Reading Record is now due and I sent home a March reading record last week. Please, please, please read with your child for 20 minutes five times each week. I know some of you are doing that because a few of my students have read 50 books already for our 100-book challenge and some are not far behind that number. Dalton and McKenlee have each read 40 books and Kaden has read 35! Way to go!!
The PTA is sponsoring a book fair this week in the library. If your child does not have money they will not be admitted to the book fair. It might be a good time to check out the book fair before or after your SEP appointment. Grandparents lunch is tomorrow, March 5 at 11:30. If your child's grandparent will be attending they can pick their grandchild up in my classroom right at 11:30.
In math this week we are working on comparing numbers, and one less, one more, ten more and ten less than a given two-digit number. We will have homework every night this week. Thanks for the invaluable one-on-one time that homework provides. I will review Topic 9 this Friday, and test next Monday.
We will be celebrating Dr. Seuss' birthday a bit late--we will celebrate this Wednesday with green eggs and ham and some opinion writing (Why I like or do not like Green Eggs and Ham).
Thanks for all that you do to support your child's education.
Happy Reading!
