Classroom News…

  • Social Studies Quiz next week on Tuesday.  Everybody should have 2 sheets in their folder that they can use to study.  The quiz will focus on 3 questions:  What is government?  Why do we have government?  What are some services provided by the government?
  • Social Studies next week will focus on the question, “Who is in the government?”
  • The reading calendar for April came home this week.  Every student who turns in a calendar with 400 minutes or more for April AND again in May will participate in a pizza party.
  • LITERACY NIGHT is coming up this Thursday, April 10th from 5:30-7:00 p.m.  Check-in starts at about 5:15.  Each Howard student who attends will get a free book.  There will be about 15 literacy activities going on throughout the evening that students can visit – making bookmarks, creating cootie catchers, slime time, jeopardy, book walk, BINGO, and more…
  • We have a field trip to the fire house coming up on April 17th.  Look for more information to come home at the end of next week.
  • Howard’s City Beautiful group is doing a can/bottle drive again this year to raise money for flowers and new trees that can be planted around the school.    You can start sending in 10 cent returnable cans/bottles on Monday.  Please rinse them out first.  We  turn them over to the committee on Fridays, so if you want to wait and send them in on Friday, that would be great!
  • Pajamas and Pancakes was a HUGE success 🙂  Thanks again for the donations to make it possible!!  Thanks also to Mrs. Elsersy for coming in to help flip and for creating super cute smiley faces out of chocolate chips.
