March is Reading Month

March is reading month is starting on Friday. We will have a special Hat day this Friday, March 1, 2019. Wear a hat and bring in $1.00. All the money will go towards field trips and special things for the school. Our PTA raises money to generously help us with these things. I will be sending home a calendar of things to do each day during the month of March to encourage reading.

Each week the school will be having a reading raffle. Every book your child reads and writes a summary for he or she can get a raffle ticket. Your child can do as many summaries as he or she wants but can only do a book one time. The summary has to be written by your child. Every Friday there will be a raffle for a prize. The more you read the more tickets you can get.

Science

On Friday, March 1, 2019 a moon watch observation log will be sent home. Each night go out and look at the moon and draw what you see. I know some nights your child will go to bed early or it will be to foggy to see the moon, but do the best you can. We will look at images on line daily to look for patterns in the moon phases and predict what phase or changes will come next.

Goals

We are working on new goals for the winter. I have discussed individual goals with about half of the class already. Look for the goal updates and graphs on the learning plans in your child’s folder. Ask your child to explain his or her goals and graph to you and refer back to these often to touch base on your child’s progress.
