Hello, I hope everyone had a great week and are ready to come back to school! Don’t forget to pack a disposable lunch with your child’s name on it for the field trip. I was thinking about how cute they all looked when they wore blue for spirit week and thought that if they have something blue available tomorrow to have them wear it, that way we can identify them quicker. However, if not, don’t worry about it, any color will do!!!  I’m looking forward to seeing them, and the chaperones too! Thank you for volunteering, we couldn’t do this without your help

Please participate in the PTA fundraiser this weekend.  They have partnered with Five Below so that 10% of your purchases this weekend will be donated back to the PTA.  Details can be found on the yellow sheet in your child’s folder.

Don’t forget Field Trip is on Monday.  Please send your child’s lunch in a bag with his/her name on it.

These are our chaperons and they will be riding the bus with us.

Mrs. Attard…Mr. Garza…Mr. Warren…Mrs. Lakis…Mrs.Mkrtumian…Mrs. Saleh…Mrs. Litton

Enjoy your time with your kids. It’s getting warmer out so that should keep us smiling…it was a long winter!

Have a great week!

I’m so excited because I finally have an app on my phone that allows me to blog from it. I have so many pictures from the year that I will start posting them once and awhile starting with the beginning of the year. 

Please return your field trip form if you have not. The trip is on the Monday we get back.

We had some excitement today in science.  After the break we are starting our Life Science Unit and a friend happened to have some tadpoles to give away so today we examined them and wrote notes in our science journal about what we observed.  Also, we are finishing up our physical science unit with Magnets and observed yesterday items that stuck to the magnet and items that didn’t and then recorded it on chart. Today we held magnets together and observed what happened when we flipped one magnet over. After, student went back and wrote and drew about what they observed. Tomorrow we will read about magnets and write a bit more. Also we have been writing an informational book about penguins and getting close to publishing it, I’m excited to see the final copy.

Don’t forget to send in field trip permission slips and popcorn money by Friday morning.

Our next Field Trip has been planned! We will be going to the Ann Arbor Hands On Museum on April 13th. Look for permission slips on Monday.

Spring Conference Invites were sent home today.

Don’t forget, Literacy Night is this Monday, the 23rd. It starts at 5:00pm and goes until 6:00pm. Our Book Fair will also be open that evening.

Have a Wonderful Weekend:)

This year’s Literacy Night is this Monday, March 23, from 5-6pm.

Spring Conferences are on Thursday, March 26, from 4-7pm. If you don’t get an invitation tomorrow but  have some concerns you would like to talk about, please let me know.

I received an email a few days ago from our media teacher and wanted to pass it on to you……….We have created a MyOn Reading Contest measuring how many minutes students read in the month of March. I set the goal of 350 mins. thinking 20 mins. per day for most of March. Kids can start anytime just by reading on MyOn at school or at home at www.myon.com. Dr. Groover will be giving prizes for the top reader in each grade (measured by number of minutes reading on MyOn).

Today First Graders did a science experiment to show that not only temperature can change states of matter but a chemical reaction can as well.  Ask them what we did today and see if they can identify what the liquid, solid and gas was. Have them explain the experiment as well.

Math tests were sent home the other day, but not to everybody. A few students seemed to not follow directions as we were taking the test so I’m going to have them redo those parts. Also absent students did not have them returned yet.  If you didn’t get yours the other day, you will be receiving yours on Monday.

We will be making our Leprechaun Traps on Monday!  Hope we catch one and a little gold!
