Thursday dismissal 12:00

School gets out at noon on Thursday, March 24.  There is no school on Friday, March 25 or Monday, March 28.  School resumes Tuesday, March 29.

We had a great St. Patricks Day.  The kids were searching for leprechauns all day.  They were convinced the leprechauns left garbage on the playground so they cleaned it all up.  Those naughty leprechauns.  We finished off the day with a St. Patricks Day float, seven up and lime sherbet.  It was delicious.

Since last week was full of assessments we are taking it a little easy this week and have lots of fun Easter centers and activities planned.  Most kids are completely done with assessments and I have a few to retest from last quarter.

There will be no spelling this week.  We will continue to work on more high-frequency words in class.

In writing, we have one more writing assessment to finish. The kids have been working so hard on writing that some kids are taking several days to finish one assessment.

This week we will start working with nonstandard measurement.  We will be using bunny feet to measure items around the classroom.  We will be using bunny sling shots to launch marshmallows and will measure the distance.  We will be working on graphing jelly beans.  This will be such a fun math week!

Happy Easter!  Enjoy your extra family time and safe travels to those who are traveling.
