And We Are Back!!!

Hello dear parents!!!! It seems as though we have been out of school for an eternity.  Now we are back, and boy do we have some catching up to do. Here are a few updates for this week.

Valentine's Day

We will celebrate Valentine's Day on Friday, February 21, 2014.  Students can bring in valentine cards if they have not done so already.  We will pass out cards, have brownies, and watch a quick Valentine's Day Charlie Brown Movie!!!

Progress Reports

Progress reports will go home on Monday, February 24, 2014.  Please spend some time reviewing this with your child.  There are about 2 and half weeks left before the end of the nine weeks. There is still time for improvements to be made. 

Accelerated Reader

We have about 2 and half weeks left for students to make their AR goals.  We will be having at least 30 minutes of  sustained silent reading each day.  This should help students have more reading time and be able to take more AR tests.  Please encourage your child to read and take tests.  So far, we have one student who has met his goal.  Congrats to Vincent who is at 134% of his goal!!!!

Spring Pictures

Friday will be our spring picture day.  Flyers were sent home with your child today as a reminder.  Students will take individual and class pictures.  Please make sure that your child is dressed nicely for this day. 

Assessments

This week Friday will be our day of assessment.  We will take our spelling test, science test on adaptations, and math test on line plots.  Please help students to be prepared for these tests.  

Reading Log

This week students will bring home a partial reading log.  They will only need to read on Wednesday and Thursday nights this week.  Please make sure that your child completes his/ her reading log.

 I believe that this is all for this week. Thanks parents!!!!!
