March 25-29

Hi Families,
I hope you were all able to enjoy some family time during Spring Break!  I have to admit, I love snow, but like most people, I am ready for winter to be over.  Hopefully this weekend's storm was the last blast for the season. 

Now that we have returned, we are back in full swing.  MATH STATE ASSESSMENTS are next week!  We will be doing a lot of final preparation and review this week.  Your child should be bringing home a Math Playbook that he or she should be studying EVERY night.

Math-  The students will be reviewing important assessment topics this week.  Each teacher will specialize in one topic and all of the classess will rotate from room to room for a review.   There will be a review homework assignment each night.

Spelling-  No spelling this week!  Have students study their Math Playbook instead.

Social Studies- The students will continue to learn about economics this week.  They will be hosting a lemonade stand on Friday for all of the 1st and 2nd graders.  The students will be selling lemonade and fruit snacks for $.50 each.  The money they earn will be donated to Alex's Lemonade Stand whic is an organization that helping to fight childhood cancer.

Have a great week!!
