This is where my nephews would say, “Ball is life, Aunt Laura!”  Well, in this case, football is…second to reading!!!! 😉  That was the message of our visitors today from the DHS football team.  Sam and Laith from the Pioneer football team read us a story and then talked to us about the importance of being a student athlete – school first, then sports!  The boys were super!

Lots of reminders for tomorrow:

• READING MINUTES from week 1 are due!  Please remember to add up the minutes and sign the bottom.  Every child who reaches the goal of 120 minutes this week will have their name entered into the drawing for lunch with Mrs. Burch.
• Red spelling notebooks are due and we will take our spelling test.
• Library books need to be returned.
• Math test – the study guide was posted on Monday, but here it is again if you need it. Unit 7 math study guide
• We will finish spirit week off tomorrow with sports day.  Students can dress up in a sports uniform, a professional team’s gear, or anything else that shows sports.
• Last, but not least, we are making our ‘brookies’!!

I am exhausted just thinking about it 🙂

Here we are representing different parts of the world today 🙂

Tomorrow is rainbow day and we visit the book fair to make our purchases!

• Please make sure that you or your child are filling in the number of minutes they read each night on Week 1 of their March is Reading Month slip.  They have 4 nights (last night, tonight, Wednesday night, and Thursday night) to reach their goal of 120 minutes.  Reading slips are due on Friday.
• Spirit week continues with “around the world” day for Wednesday.  It can be as simple as a t-shirt or hat from a place you have visited, or you can wear an outfit that represents a different state, country, or culture.  We had some awesome book characters in our classroom today!  I keep forgetting to take pictures…sorry :/
• There is math homework tonight and the test for unit 7 is on Friday.  If you haven’t seen the study guide, please look back at yesterday’s post.
• Everyone brought home a wish list from the book fair today.  We will return on Thursday to make our purchases.
• WE DID IT AGAIN!!  We have earned a full pan of brownie points for the second time this year!  That means we get to make “brookies” (brownie with a chocolate chip cookie in the middle).  My plan is to make them first thing on Friday morning…if you are looking for something to do on Friday, we could always use one parent helper 🙂
