I hope everyone is having a great weekend!  Tomorrow is the PBIS celebration for March.  If your child had 4 or less card flips this month they will be able to participate.  The upper elementary students will be watching part of the Tiger Home Opener in the afternoon with popcorn and lemonade as a refreshment.  Don’t forget to remind your child to wear their Tiger gear!!

Just a note:  We are in desperate need of tissues in our classroom.  If you can spare a box, we would all appreciate it!

Now that the weather is finally getting nicer, we will be having more recess in the afternoon.  I am asking that you speak to your child about avoiding mud puddles until the ground dries up.  I am sure you don’t want to wash their muddy shoes when they arrive home from school.

This week’s spelling focuses on suffixes.  The words they will need to study are:  grateful, kindness, comfortable, beautiful, portable.  The content words are:  judicial, executive, legislative, federal, state.

Please continue to work with your child on multiplication and make sure they are reading as a daily routine.  The science projects should have been started.  Remember that if you need a discounted Display Board, we are taking orders until Wednesday, April 2nd.

Have a great rest of the weekend!

Hello Parents!

Make sure your child is practicing their multiplication facts every day…they should be getting quicker and quicker at it each day.  Please keep in mind that your child takes a timed test in multiplication every day.  They need to beat their score.

Everyone should be working on their Science Fair Project!  If you would like to order a discounted poster board, the order form and money are due April 2nd.

Please don’t neglect reading each and every day!  Your child should be reading 20-30 minutes each day.  Right before bed is a great way to relax and get a good nights sleep.

Monday is the Tiger’s Opening Day!  Make sure your child wears Tiger gear.  The PBIS party is also Monday.  More information to come on Sunday night.

Have a great weekend!

Good Evening!

Friday is the last day of spirit week.  Students need to wear their favorite team jersey.

Report Cards and MEAP results will be coming home with your child Friday.  Please look for them in your child’s homework folder.

Hello again!

As you know, the Science Fair projects are due on Tuesday, May 20th.  If your child needs a display board, the school office is taking orders to place at a discounted website.  Your child will be bringing home a Poster Board Order Form for you to fill out.  Please note that on the back, is the rubric for the Project that I will use to grade your child’s project.  Please copy the rubric before filling out the order form and returning it to me.

There will be a Title I Parent Informational Meeting at 5:30 on Wednesday in the computer lab.  Please plan on attending then going to Literacy Night at 6:00 pm.  There you will receive lots of information about Snow School Title I plans.

Also, make sure that your child is practicing his/her multiplication facts each night.  We are taking a timed test each morning to make sure we are improving.  Memorizing the multiplication facts will help them with division.

Hope to see everyone Wednesday for Literacy Night!!

Please make sure your child does his/her homework every night.  Many homework assignments are being overlooked or turned in days or even weeks late.  Please help your child become a responsible citizen by promoting responsible behaviors.

Please don’t forget the Field Trip Permission Slip and $9.00 cash due this Thursday.

There are several things to remember this week:  Monday begins spirit week (bring $1.00 for the Peace Pole).  Monday is also our Book Fair visit.  If you would like your child to shop, please send money in an envelope labeled with their name.  Wednesday is Literacy Night.  The fun begins at 6:00 pm!  Thursday will be parent-teacher conferences.  If you have been invited, please send in your conference sheet signed by you.  (You may also write me a note regarding the time, I am flexible and can fit you in at a different time if the one I chose for you is not convenient.)

Listed below are the spelling words for this week:

The subject for our words is Suffixes:

—Honestly, friendless, government, wondrous, wildly.

The content words are:

—Supreme Court, checks and balances, Bill of Rights

Students should also be working on their Science Fair Project!

And don’t forget the field trip permission slip and money!

We will be taking a field trip to the Michigan Theater in Ann Arbor in May.  The permission slip is in your child’s homework folder.  We will need the signed permission slip by the end of next week along with the admission fee.  The theater group requires the payment prior to issuing us tickets.  Therefore, please send in the slip and payment as soon as possible.

We will be visiting the book fair on Monday.  Have your child bring money to shop for some great values.

Please make sure your child is working on their Science Fair Projects.  This is a requirement for a grade.  See me if you have any questions.
