March is Reading Month is here.  We are beginning our month where the theme is Reading.  A calendar March is Reading Month  will come home Monday.   The kick-off is March 1 with Literacy Night from 6 p.m. -7 p.m.  The third grade will also be doing their concert that night.  They should be at the school in time to perform.  A note was sent home about this event.

During March is Reading Month you may want to encourage your child to try reading different genres and authors.  Your local library can help, they usually have lists of books that are classics, as well as award winning.  It would be a good time to visit and check it out.

Again, if you would like to be a guest reader this month, please contact me about a morning time or a time after 2:30.  We would love to have you come in a share a favorite book.

The Book Fair is also up and running this week.  Our time to attend is March 2 at 9:00 a.m..

In reading we will be looking at poetry, with our focus on acrostic and quatrain poems.

Our Spelling words for Lesson 21 are: care, stare, fare, dare, bare, square, discourse, conflict, fraction, leader.  There will be an additional 5 cold words. The test will be Friday, March 4.

We have completed our unit on Government in Social Studies.  The scores from the district test were sent home.  If you did not get it, please let me know.  Our focus now is on Public Discourse.
