Newsletter 2-29-16

In language arts this week, we’re wrapping up unit four and reviewing for the CFA test on Monday.  There is no homework packet or spelling test this week.  Please use the extra time to go on the Pearson website and see what skills your child missed in the weekly tests.  Clicking on these skills will print out a specialized practice page.  I’ve sent the instructions again as an attachment.

This would be a great week for your child to get extra practice on Reflex Math.  Many of our students are less than halfway to our goal of 100%.  It is important for all of our children to be fluent in their math facts to 20 by the end of second grade, and those who make the goal by May 5 will earn a party!

Thanks for sending back the February reading calendars today.  If your child forgot, please send it back tomorrow.  Please encourage your child to read every day.  Students who meet our goal of 400 minutes get a coupon for a free pizza from Pizza Hut.

We had a fantastic Valentine’s Day party!  Thank you so much to our room moms, Mrs. Pappas, Mrs. Anderson, and Mrs. Douglas.  I also want to thank you for the nice gifts and chocolates!



We learned a lot about Utah history from our Mountain Man assembly.  


Congratulations to Gaby for earning the citizenship award for friendship!



We are still doing Jump Rope for Heart, and some of our kids have been practicing at recess.  It has been exciting to see the donations they have brought for the American Heart Association.


Have a great week!  Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
