WEEKLY NEWS FROM ROOM 114
THIS WEEKS NEWS
March 22 - 26, 2010
Easter is right around the corner. How time flies. After Easter, I will be sending home some information about 2 very special projects we work on for the end of the school year. The St. Baldrick's event was a great success. Nellie also donated her hair to Locks of Love! What a great way to help support cancer survivors. I'm so proud of all of our participants.
NOTES AND REMINDERS
Erin did a great job as our star of the week. Our new star of the week will be: Ella . Please bring in your pictures on Monday.
This will be our last star of the week for the year. It's hard to believe that we've gone through the whole class already!
UPCOMING EVENTS
We want to wish Ryan a Happy Birthday on March 24 and Neil a Happy Birthday on March 28!!!
Our class will attend the book fair on Monday, March 22 between 11:00 -11:30. Parents are welcome to be at the fair to help your children select books. Due to the book fair, lunch will be in the classroom starting Friday (Mar. 19 - 25) through Thursday.
Thanks again for all the egg cartons that you sent to school. We will be making our Easter project with the egg cartons this week.
HOMEWORK
Please read "What a Sight" on Mon. and Tues. night. Read "Lost in the Museum" on Wed. and Thurs. night. Sight test, spelling test and workbook pages used for assessment will be given on Friday.
The phonics skills for this week are long /i/ with the -igh and -ie spelling and singular possessives such as Dad's game.
In Math we will work with numbers that are greater than or less than, also numbers that are before, after, or in-between other numbers.
I'm sending home the Handwriting book we've used since the beginning of the year. We have completed the book but that doesn't mean the children should stop practicing printing their letters. Remember that old saying: practice makes perfect!
