43 Days...

Since our trip to the movies to see The Spiderwick Chronicles was so well attended and everyone seemed to have a good time, our class thought that we would like to see another movie together. Coincidentally (hee, hee), we are reading Nim's Island as a class right now, and it comes to movie theaters this Friday. If you like the idea, please vote in the survey on the right of this page.

Today's assignments:

Science-read p. C38-C43; complete worksheet

Math-line segment worksheet

Reading-read Amelia and Eleanor

Tammie Lyon Visits

Caitlin, Lexie, and Bryce get their books signed by illustrator and CNE resident Tammie Lyon.

Happy Easter!

I hope everyone has a wonderful Easter break, and hopefully the weather is kind to us as well. There will be no homework packet or spelling homework during the week of March 31.
Don't forget that the carnival is coming up on April 19 and the PTO is in desperate need of volunteers.
I plan to spend spring vacation painting and packing my house to get ready to put it on the market. I will also be grading the weather tests and planning for our next science unit of instruction which will be about erosion and weathering. Enjoy the time with your families!

Test Tomorrow

Don't forget to study for the social studies test tomorrow.
We will also have Judy Krebs with a weather presentation.

The PTO has asked each teacher to find at LEAST five volunteers to work at the CNE carnival on April 19. If each of you could check your already busy schedules and find an hour or two to work at the carnival, the PTO and I would be especially grateful. The shifts are 9:30-11, 11-12, 12-1, 1-2, and 2-3:30. I will even offer homework passes to my students who have parents who work at least one shift at the carnival. (Limit one homework pass per student.)

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Yes, there are a lot of tests this week, but if we waited to do the assessments after the break, the students would not be able to completely enjoy the days off knowing that tests awaited them upon their return to school. We also want them to take the tests while the material is fresh in their minds:) So don't forget to study for social studies, science, reading, and spelling-the math test was taken today!

Enjoy the Weekend

Since spring break begins next Friday, our week will be 20% shorter.
