Can’t believe it’s March! Here are a few important things to be aware of:
We want to welcome our new student, Skyler McClelland! Skyler joined our classroom family on Wednesday and we’re so happy to have him. The boys are very excited to get another boy in the class!
Our next book report will be a Power Point report. This report will be done in class starting on Tuesday, March 26th. They must have their book read by this date so they can start the report when we go to computer lab. It must be a chapter book that is in their lexile level. We have been working on the book, Holes as a novel unit and the kiddos are loving this book! It is so much fun to hear them beg to read Holes every day. I’ve suggested they look up other books by Louis Sachar to use for their book reports since they’ve enjoyed Holes so much. We will be doing the sequel to Holes which is Small Steps as a novel unit in class later in the year.
Please remind your child to study for their root word test every Friday. They are getting harder each week. The roots have really added to our reading and language units. They are dissecting words left and right and coming up with the definitions to words in text based on the greek and latin roots!
Report cards will go home the Friday after Spring Break. This means third quarter grades will close next Friday. ALL missing or redone work is due by this date.
Thank you so much for all of the book donations! As of today we have pulled ahead to first place (pizza party)!!! Our class alone has brought in over 500 books. These books will be distributed among the Painted Sky classrooms as well as to other schools, in the district, who are in need of books. So proud of our class!
Old Pueblo is coming up! Please return your child’s permission slip by Monday. I’ll pull the names of chaperones that afternoon and notify the volunteers. We’ll also be heading to Tubac on May 9. The kiddos will be required to dress the part of an 1885 student. You might want to start to think about your child’s outfit now. I’ve attached a picture of my class last year so you have an idea of what people have done in the past. Some people make their costumes or have had great luck at good will. I have some extra outfits that have been donated by previous students if you need assistance. Parent volunteers are required to dress up as well……..but it’s TONS of fun!
Continue to check the blog for updates and to see what we’ve been doing in class. It’s hard to believe that I only have two months left with this class. When your heart hurts at the thought of giving them away you know you’ve got a special group of kids!
