It feels like spring is here! With the warm weather comes energetic kids. So as a school, we are trying to channel the energy into positive behavior with an all school incentive. If a class earns a PAW slip in every area of school: hallway, bus line, bus, bathroom, cafeteria, classroom, morning line and playground, then that class can participate in an all school movie.
Please check the right sidebar to see what we are learning in each academic area.
Author's Celebration: We had a wonderful celebration on Monday. Thank you to all the parents who were able to join us and those who brought treats and materials. The kids had a great time sharing their animal reports.
Book Orders: March/April Scholastic orders are due today. You can submit orders through Saturday online. Scholastic has now released an app called Storia. It is a virtual bookshelf that comes with 5 free books. You can now buy scholastic books for your e reader.
Writing Captions: For our humor mini unit, we will be writing captions. I am asking families to check at home for a funny photo (or copy of a photo) of your child that would lend itself well to writing a funny caption underneath. Please send the photo to school by Tuesday March 20.
Tests Home: Look for Math Unit 8 Test and Social Studies Unit 7 test. The Science test should have come home on Wednesday. Math tests should be signed and returned. I will stamp/star the test and send it back home for you to keep. It is important to me that I know you see your child's test.
Math Homelinks- You have already noticed that some homelinks ask for your child to bring in boxes or find things in magazines to share at school. It is much appreciated when you are able to find things at home, but it is not manadatory. So please do not worry if your family can not fulfill that part of the homelink.
Ask Your Child:
Which PAW slips has your class earned for the all school incentive?
How many feet are in a yard?
What is one of the main problems in Mouse and a Motorcycle?
What should you do when you finish a test a school? (Check over your tests- make sure you didn't skip any problems and redo the problems to make sure you got the correct answer) We are having lots of kids skipping questions on tests, even kids who say they checked it over- yikes!
