Newsletter March 26 - March 30

This is our last week before Spring Break (April 2 - 6).  Today we took our spelling test.  Tomorrow new spelling words will come home, but we will not have a test until we return from Spring break on Tuesday, April 10.

Our field trip to the Tom Sawyer play at SUU was a big success.  It was fun to watch my students experience a stage performance for many possibly the first time they have seen a play.  They laughed, clapped, and even screamed and cheered at one point.  Ask you child about it if you haven't already.

Here are this week's happenings:
  • I sent home another reminder today about our Easter egg hunt on Friday, March 30.  Thanks for those of you that have sent eggs already.  We can't do this without your egg donations so THANK YOU!  Please send those plastic, candy-filled eggs (one dozen) by Thursday, March 29.  I have one parent that has volunteered to come and help hide the eggs that day.  I could use another helper--if you could help by coming and getting the eggs from my classroom at 1:30 and help hide them at the park for our arrival at 2:00 I would really appreciate it.  Send me an e-mail if you can help. 
  • After spring break we still have several weeks of learning--please continue to read with your child every night and work towards our 100-book challenge.  We have sight word soldier pass-off on every Friday.  If you have lost your list let me know and I can send home another one.  
  • Today we took a math test and tomorrow we will begin our unit on measurement and time.  Students really like the change in topic from place value to measurement and time.  We are still learning about animal habitats and our books that accompany our reading program are  getting more difficult as my students are becoming more proficient readers. We are continuing to learn rules of decoding.  Today we learned that 'kn' is a way to spell the /n/ sound (knee, knot etc.). 
Have a marvelous Spring break.  School will resume on Monday, April 9.
