What's New!?!
I was proud of the kids and their adjustment to the extended school day. Remember that we will continue going 30 extra minutes until April 1st. The kids are getting ready to take a break from subtraction and addition this next week. Please continue to help them at home with this concept!
Math:
• Measurement- Length
Kidwriting:
• Revising their writing
• Peer revising

Bits of Information
Snack- Thanks for all of you who brought in some snacks for the class. We could still use some more. If you haven’t already donated, or would like to contribute more, we would greatly appreciate it!
I would really like to have a few pictures of the kiddos during the music concert. If you have some that you could email me or give me a copy of I would really enjoy having them.
Wish List: With the end of the year getting near, I am beginning to run out of a few classroom supplies. Some things that we could use in the classroom are the following:
• Dry erase markers
• Markers
• Glue sticks
• Crayons
• Treasure box items

Starting next week I will no longer mark green on your child’s calendar if they had a good day. Just assume that no news is good news! However, I will mark their calendar if they pull a card.
I am currently trying to figure out our spring field trip. I think it will be sometime at the end of April. I just wanted to give you a heads up because it looks like this one may cost around $10 a child. Be thinking about volunteering to go with us. If you would like to go with us and have not filled out a background check, please go ahead and get that done so you will be able to come. Any questions about background checks can be directed to our Family Resource Center.
Thank you for those who turned in your homework on time this week. Please, do your best to turn it in on Wednesday, even if you are not finished so I have enough time to prepare homework for the next week. Also, I have just been informed that if you loose one of the take home books, it will cost $5 dollars to replace. Please, do your best to keep up with the books and if you loose it, please send in $5 to compensate for the loss.
