It was so nice seeing everyone back at school today. This Wednesday we have our first field trip of 3 that we have in the next few weeks. If you have not filled out the field trip permission slips they MUST be returned tomorrow along with the $10. This money covers the cost of all 3 field trips.  I also am in need of parent chaperones. If you are able to chaperone for any of the field trips- this Wednesday (all day), next Wednesday (all day), or next Thursday (AM only) please let me know by either an email, blog comment, or note sent to school with your child.

Homework tonight:

1. Go on study island math for 15 minutes

2. Read

3. Complete a weekly spelling activity (if you didn’t do them all over break)

Happy Friday!

I hope everyone has a wonderful and safe spring break. Enjoy this time with your families 🙂

Over the break I am asking that every student reads 15 minutes a day.  The students were given new reading books to bring home over break.

Homework:

1. Read 15 minutes every day
2. Go on study island math or zearn at least 3 times over break for 20 minutes.
3. Fill out the 3 field trip forms and put them in your back pack with the $10.00 for Monday

I am in need of parent chaperones for the field trip in April; especially for Wednesday April 10th- we don’t have any chaperones for this field trip.  Please let me know if you are willing and able to chaperone.  Thank you very much.

Happy Thursday:

Tomorrow is the end of March is reading month.  Thank you for all of your participation. Today the students are bringing home 3 field trip permission slips.  Please send these back tomorrow signed, even if you are not able to send in the money until after spring break.  Also, if you are able to be a chaperone on a field trip, please write that you can attend on your child’s permission slip.  Thank you 🙂

Happy Wednesday:

Today the students took their math test.  These test will come home graded on Friday.

Homework for tonight:

1. Read- all reading logs are due tomorrow for this week.  Ms. McMahon needs to collect them for the whole school so make sure you bring it.  Also, if you have your book write ups (notecards or a piece of paper that lists your name, the book you read, and 3 sentences about your book) make sure you bring them.  Some of you have already turned in all 5 but many haven’t.  If you turn in 5 by tomorrow you get a special March is reading month prize 🙂
2. Do a spelling activity- all 4 are due tomorrow

We have several field trips coming up in April after spring break.  The cost of all of the field trips combined is $10.00.  If you want to bring in $10 to cover all of the field trips in advance you may.  I will mark down that they are all paid in full.  I will post the dates of the field trips tomorrow and start sending home the permission slips.  I am also going to need parent chaperones.  If you are able to attend please write a note on the field trip slip or send me a comment or email.

Have a great day 🙂
