NEWS FOR PARENTS:

I'm not sure what happened to my blog posting for March 12 - 16....!!!  Anything can happen with technology.  Here is your information for this week, March 19 - 23.

**Many parents are asking me if students have homework at night.  Since August we have had Spelling homework every night before the test on Friday, Reading homework every night before the test on Thursday, and Math homework twice each week.  Children are supposed to be reading AR books with an adult, too.  We have also been working on addition and subtraction facts as well.  Yes, we do have homework every night! 



Thank you, parents who sent tissues, wipes, and paper towels!   
Please do continue to send these in...
And a BIG "thank you" to Roberto's mother for sending in one color 
cartridge! :^)
We are still in need of one black cartridge, HP Officejet 901.  Walmart and Office Depot carry these in two packs or single.


**Spring pictures are March 21st

**SPRING BREAK is March 26 - 30th!!! 


Coming in April...............

**April 14th is Spring Fling/Mustang Stampede 5k & Fun Run.

NEWS FOR PARENTS:


I will be providing Valentine’s Day treats for my students tomorrow afternoon at 1:45!  Since returning on Friday night, I learned that plans had not been made.  If your child already has Valentine cards ready to bring, then send them tomorrow by 8:00 a.m.  If your child does NOT have cards, do not rush out to buy them unless you choose to.  Instead, your child may bring some kind of wrapped treat, such as suckers, chocolates, or even pencils, to put in Valentine bags. I do not want you to think that you MUST send anything.  We will enjoy our special treats tomorrow.  Thank you so much for understanding!

NEWS FOR PARENTS~~~

**Make sure to read my "Letter to Parents" in your child's apple binder today**

Below are two important messages!  

#1...Please place quarters, dimes, nickels and pennies on a table.  Have your child put change in order from greatest to least, then count by "adding on."  You have received three classwork pages to refer to in case you want to know how we are teaching this skill.


#2...Continue to practice telling time to the minute using an analog clock (with hands).  Students must be able to tell time accurately.

Students should be reading AR books at home every night!
