We have a busy week leading up to our spring break with many school activities.

Our Woodlands Presentation Night will be held on Thursday at 5:30pm. Students will be sharing the murals and landscape that we have created in our room, as well as reading the woodland animal reports that they have written. We invite all parents and family members to attend. It is usually a quick presentation and the students really love getting to share what they have done.

We will be presenting again on Friday at 1:45 for our 4th grade buddies. If you are unable to attend on Thursday night, feel free to come on Friday afternoon. If you do come on Friday, please be sure to stop in the office and sign in before coming to the classroom. As always, please let me know if you have any questions.

Jump Rope for Heart is also happening this week. Any money raised for this event is due to school by Tuesday. The actual Jump Rope for Heart event will happen during our P.E. time on Friday. Please make sure your child wears appropriate gym shoes that day.

We are doing some math review and taking our unit 7 math test this week. I am going to send home some math homework pages that will help students practice some of the skills that will be on the test.

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions about this.

Week of February 27th

We have a slow week on homework again. We're nearing the end of a short unit and we're going to be doing some extra problem solving, so not a lot of homework. However, it is a review week for reading so the spelling words are a bit harder since they are all sight words. You may want to have your child practice spelling a little extra since they won't have to do math homeowork.

Also, if you will not be able to attend your scheduled conference time, please let me know as soon as possible. I need to have conferences completed by the end of this week, so my schedule gets tighter each day. Any advance notice is greatly appreciated.

Reminder: No school for students on Friday, March 2nd or Monday, March 5th.
