This week in room 12....

First off, Happy St. Patricks Day! 

We started the morning off with a pinch or two, but don't fret. 

Lexi suggested a hug instead and the kids seemed just as excited about that. 

I cannot believe that Spring Break has already arrived. 

This entire month has been spent preparing for the state assessment. 

I am excited to get back to our regular routine this April. 

I have not been completing newsletters or writing in our owl folders. Everything in our classroom is running at a faster pace than ever and there is hardly a minute to spare. 

I have decided that with this website as a way to communicate with families I will only be doing a newsletter once per month. I will try to include all important events and information there, but be sure to check the website, as well. I will begin writing in the folders each Friday again after the break. We will also start spelling and math fact practice again. 

THIS WEEK: 

1. Your child's report card will come home with them today. Please return the signed envelope right away. You may of course, keep the report card. 

2. The Math State Assessment continues through the week. Please make sure to get your mathematician (child) to be a little early. Don't forget to eat a healthy breakfast in the morning and bring healthy snacks to school. 

3. Ulises, Hannah and Madison are our students of the month for March!! I am so proud of how hard they have been working throughout all of the math, math, math we have doing this month! We will recognize their hard work during the assembly at 9:45, this Wednesday. 

4. This Thursday homework for spring break will come home. We are asking that students practice and master as many multiplication facts as possible. I am sending flashcards home with them. Your child should also be reading and keeping a log to return after the break. 

TONIGHT'S HOMEWORK: 

1. Read for 20 minutes and write 3-5 sentences describing a character from the story.
