Yay! I get to go back to school tomorrow!!!

Hello out there! Can you believe this CRAZY weather? I hope you have all been enjoying this wonderful time off with your lovely families. I have been loving my time at home with my family. Last Tuesday Benjamin lost his first tooth and I was here to see it! Then tonight, he lost his SECOND tooth! Now he has a giant hole in the front of his bottom teeth it’s SO cute! It was a wonderful feeling. I hope you all had a wonderful and restful vacation too!

Science PBL Unit! We are beginning our earth materials PBL unit. I will be sending home a note this week to explain it. I am so excited to learn about earth materials and make it hands on. We will need your help though to collect some materials from neighborhood parks other than McCollough Unis!

Also, we need your help! Could you please send in a plastic baggie with some rocks in it either from your house or from the neighborhood? We will be observing the attributes of a rock for our “rocking rocks” report! We truly appreciate your help and remind you to please put your child’s name on the baggie so they can be returned!

*Reading Minutes Log: Well it’s that time! This week we will be having our ending assembly that was rescheduled to finish up the reading month! I will be awarding prizes to the students and classes with the highest reading minutes in each grade level so make sure to sign and return the logs MONDAY April 4th, 2016. I will be filling out certificates so I will not accept any logs Tuesday morning the day of the student assembly. THANK YOU for all your support last month once again!

*Those who ordered a book order they went out this weekend so we will look forward to them coming soon (fingers crossed by Friday Scholastic is fast!)
