Opps!

In the rush of the afternoon, the report cards were not sent home.  My apologies about that.  They are ready to go home on Monday.



Have a great weekend and thank you for all you do!

The Toucan Squawk, Mar. 24 - 28

Hello families...I hope everyone had a wonderful Spring Break with their kiddos!

We have started reviewing concepts from the school year for the upcoming Stanford 10 test.  This week, the students have taken practice tests.  We'll be discussing the questions and answers as a class.  We don't have a writing project this week, but we will start on our next project next week- an Easter Bunny-themed writing!

Tomorrow is picture day!  The class will be taking individual pictures tomorrow morning.

Grade reports will go home on Friday.  They will also include everyone's latest STAR reports.

The Toucan Squawk, Mar. 3 - 7

Hello families...I hope everyone has had a wonderful week!  A HUGE thanks to everyone for coming to our Wax Museum yesterday.  Your help with their costumes and with their practice at home made a huge difference in everyone's confidence...everyone looked great in their costumes as they presented.

We started with area of a rectangle on Monday and will continue through the rest of the week.  This will be reinforced with centers after the math lesson, as well as during rotations.  And speaking of rotations, the kiddos started taking their STAR reading test for the end of the 3rd quarter.  This reading level will become their new reading level for the coming 4th quarter (I still can't believe it's March, let alone almost the end of the 3rd quarter- oh my goodness how time flies!).  I'll send home the results next Friday once everyone has taken their test.

The kids are almost finished with writing their March craft project, how to catch a leprechaun.  I introduced this lesson with how to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.  They also started and are almost finished with the 3rd quarter writing portfolio piece.  This will be completed and put in each students' binder by Friday.

For Friday, students are invited to wear their pajamas for all their hard work on their wax Museum and in celebration of Dr. Seuss' birthday March 3rd.  Everyone can bring their favorite book so we can share through the day.
