Yes, it is our turn for Market Place. Students may bring any school appropriate item that their parents have approved to sell. Please check the items so that little brother or big sister is not missing anything. The Market Place has turned out to be quite a success. Other classes have opened their own Market Place days as well. The students are really thinking about products that will sell and how to price their products competitively. They also put lots of thought into the location of their stores.
Math geometric cities are due tomorrow.
Spring seems to be busy for everyone. I would love to see everyone on Friday night at the movie theater, but I know that the kids and their families are involved in a little bit of everything. If I don't see you at the movie, have a great time and enjoy baseball, soccer, softball, play practice or whatever activity is filling your time. Holly Su said Nim's Island is really good!
Our class has 5 of the top 12 AR readers as of today. James, Tim, Jessica, Bailey, and Holly Su are #1, 2, 4, 6, and 7 respectively. Nick and Caitlin have a chance to break the top 12 if they read like crazy. The top 12 readers (by word count) will get to go on a behind the scenes tour of the Newport Aquarium in mid-May. The official count will be taken on April 17 and winners notified.
Our AR has a new parent feature. Several students chose to bring the letter home today that explains how parents can access their child's reading record and see quizzes taken, overall records, and goals. You can also sign up to receive instant email notification each time your child takes a test. I signed up with my first grader and was very pleased with all of the options available. The advanced search feature is really nice, but as the kids said, it's too bad this was not available earlier as it would have really helped with literature projects. If the letter did not come home today, look for it in Friday's folder.
Enjoy the break in the weather!
