The students seemed to really enjoy the trip to Pattison Park based on the letters they wrote describing the trip. These letters are some of the best examples of writing I have seen all year.
Today is the end of the grading period so all work must be completed by this afternoon. To meet this goal, we will have a good behavior/work time movie this afternoon for students with no red cards, less than four yellow cards, and/or no missing work.
Today is also our AR lunch for those students who met their February goal. Congratulations Molly, Tyler, James, Hunter, Faith, Riley, Taryn, Holly Sa., Holly Su., Abby, Tim, and Bailey!
In science we continue to work on our weather contracts which are due March 14. Ask your child about his her weather abc book.
Congratulations to our Second Session Rocket Club members! They are Caitlin, Molly, Nick, Hunter, Taryn, Jessica, Holly Su., and Lexie.

No More Snow!
After our two-hour delay...
In math we started with fraction vocabulary and made flip books. We also practiced writing fractions from models. We have an assignment to complete for homework.
Mrs. Krebs came and played a weather game with us.
Lots of people made lots of money during Market Place.
Don't forget that conferences are rescheduled for tonight. Same time, same place as last Wednesday's schedule.
The two-hour early release was rescheduled for next Wednesday, March 5.

More Storms
It is not looking good weatherwise, but we'll keep on working and do the best we can.
Students wrote down this week's spelling words (all contractions) this morning. People who wrote neatly can use this list for the 5 point activity-write words neatly.
Our class took a math test today and worked diligently on their science contracts. Much was accomplished. Together we read The Houdini Box and discussed the vocabulary. We practiced "bustling" around the room.
If the weather is bad tomorrow, Family Fun Night may be canceled. Look for more information to come home tomorrow. If there is no school on Wednesday, conferences will also be canceled. Let's all cross our fingers for more high pressure systems and less snow!

Now we make them up...
Since Friday was our sixth snow day, we are now going to have to make up at least one day of school. No more snow allowed!
Friday folders were sent home on Thursday (just in case), but they did not have the Friday Folder report in them. I told the students that I would post the spelling words here in case they wanted to get started on their homework.
Spelling words

shouldn't couldn't where's hadn't aren't they're it's we've when's haven't
Challenge

Vocabulary

Their homework pages were also in the folder.
Our field trip was rescheduled to this Thursday. Conferences were rescheduled to this Wednesday with times staying the same.
Enjoy your weekend!

Last One
Many students did not complete math workbook p. 158 which will be due upon our return to school. Please ask your child if he/she has completed that assignment.
We are now officially out of snow days with bad weather predicted for Friday. Our field trip to Pattison Park that was canceled today will be rescheduled. It is also free now so students who had already paid were given their money to return to their parents (unless they left early on Tuesday). I will let you know when our new date is scheduled.
Conferences will also be rescheduled, but we do not have a date as yet.
Enjoy the snow! We're going sledding!

Weather Forecast
Last Wednesday we were lucky enough to have a visit from John Gumm, a meteorologist from Local 12 News. Caitlin and Abby, among others, were selected to help John demonstrate some weather concepts. If you have a weather question, just click here and Ask John.
Family Movie Night
Thank you all for coming to see Spiderwick Chronicles! An amazing 18 out of 22 students attended, plus others from other classes! While I really enjoyed the movie, it was much different from the books that we read in class. This is why I much prefer reading the book and THEN seeing the movie. Since the kids seemed to enjoy the outing so much, we are investigating future movies to see together later in the year.
