Hello families! I hope everyone enjoyed their Spring Break. I myself got a lot accomplished: cleaning, catching up on reading, and making more file folder games for the kids. The class first used them during Dr. Seuss week, and but I haven't been able to make any more since then. These are in addition to the weekly spelling centers, which will begin to also include weekly math centers to strengthen and enrich skills.
The students have continued their unit on graphing and tally charts, as well as reviewing double-digit addition and subtraction. We have also continued our unit on contractions by watching an educational video about them, and completing activity pages. The students will also complete file folder centers individually and with partners to quiz their knowledge about this unit, which will conclude on Monday with a unit test.
The students took home their Spring registration form on Monday. Please fill it out accordingly and return it as soon as possible. Returning it with the intent for your student to continue at PdS will ensure your student's place for the new school year. If your intent is for your student to not return next year, please be sure to fill out the back and return it. Either way, whether you wish or do not wish for your student to return next school year, this form needs to be returned as soon as possible. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the school.
Spring pictures were taken today. The picture preview will be sent home in approximately 2 weeks. Please review the pictures, as well as the available packages, and return both the preview packet and your payment as soon as possible back with your student. If you do not wish to purchase the pictures, please return the entire preview packet back with your student. According to the photography company policy, any parts of the preview packet not returned will be considered as the packet is being purchased, and you may be charged.

The Toucan Squawk, Mar. 12 - 16
Hello families! I hope everyone has enjoyed their week so far. The students have started on crafts and activities on St. Patrick's Day, including word builder activities using St. Patrick's Day related words and a solve-the-math-and-color-sheet. They'll also be creating crafts to post in the room. We have also started on our unit for graphs and tally tables. The students started the unit having fun by surveying 10 classmates to fill a tally table with their information. They will eventually be creating a foldable flip book to document their knowledge about this unit. We have started a new story in reading, "Officer Buckle and Gloria". We are also continuing our writing project about what to do with a caught leprechaun.
Next week is Spring Break- how time flies! I'll be sending home the Morning Work packet the students would have gotten for the week for a chance to earn an extra nickel. This is, as usual, optional. However, for the students who do complete it and return it no later than Tuesday, March 27 will receive two extra nickels for their best effort and the completion of the entire packet.
I'll be sending home info for Spring pictures! They're coming up soon.

As a reminder...
yearbook ordering is complete and no further orders can be accepted. Students can check with the office in May when yearbooks are distributed to see if there are any extras. Thank you!

Hello families! This year's yearbooks have been ordered, and payments have been made for those who have turned them in! We will be getting them in early May, so be on the look out. I've seen the class page, and it looks positively fantastic! I'm looking forward to everyone signing yearbooks at the end of the school year (of course, I'm NOT looking forward to it being the end of the school year at that point!) I have also sent a new batch of t-shirt order forms home. However, I just today noticed that there are actually two on each sheet- opps!- so you'll only need to fill out one of the forms to order for your student and anyone else at home who would like one. The shirts are teal, with the school name and mascot (the dust devil) on the front. An example is posted in the front office for viewing.
The students are currently working on St. Patrick's day activities to decorate the classroom. We are also finishing our unit on rounding, starting on graphing tomorrow, which will continue through next week. The students will also be completing their 3rd quarter benchmark tests to show progress of learning from this quarter- I'm so excited to see the results!
Prior to Spring Break, I'll be sending students to the Lost and Found box to look through to find any jackets, sweaters, backpacks, lunch boxes, or other items which may belong to them. This can also be done on their own prior to school starting- the box is loacted in the entrance to the cafeteria. Any items not claimed by spring break will be donated to a local charity.
I'll be sending home info for Spring pictures! They're coming up soon.
