Families,
Can you believe it is March already?? I think every year goes faster than the one before...how can that be possible? Anyway, I hope you all enjoyed the weekend!! With melting snow, the playground will be messy. Please make sure you have extra clothes at school for your child to change into if need be. What a fun I Love to Read month we had!! I do hope the reading continues the rest of their lives!! This week is back to normal. Spelling, Reading Comprehension along with Science and Social Studies. We are hitting math and reading review heavy this month. When we return from Spring Break we are taking the Reading test that week. Watch for  review packs to come home. Please work on these a little at a time. We learn a lot during the year and it can be a challenge to remember it all. This is to refresh what we have learned. Yes MCA testing is important, but please try not to make this a stressful time. I believe I mentioned report cards would be going home this week, it will actually be next week. The second trimester was done on Friday, we have this week to get grades to the office and then printed. We also have D.A.R.E. starting on Mar. 10. I will be sending home a permission slip in the Wed. envelope. Please sign and return it to school. Have a wonderful week!!

Families,
Yet another cold week!! Please make sure your child is dressed warm, even for the bus. We have had inside recess which keeps them warm!! I Love to Read month continues. It has been fun hearing others read in a different language!! Reading minutes are looking good for most of the students, but there are a few that could do a little more. Sweet prizes up for grabs!  Other than Monday off, we have a regular week. It looks like the fractions test will be on Thursday. Next we will go into decimals. There will be no spelling or reading comp. this week.  MCA prep continues!! We are penciled in to test the week of Mar. 29, right after Spring Break!! PLEASE work on math facts!!! If you need new flash cards let me know and I can send some home. Stay warm and have a wonderful week!!!

Families,
Oh boy is it going to be cold this week!!! You may want to have plan B ready incase we have another  "weather"  2 hour late start or snow day. One never knows what MN will throw at us!!  It is going to be a busy week!!  I Love to Read month activities continue each day. Thursday will be our Battle of the Books. Grade 4 will start at 1:20. It will be on live stream for families to watch in the comfort of your own chair. Friday is wear a Travel Shirt. If you have traveled somewhere or have a shirt/hoodie from another destination, please wear it (school appropriate of course). Science and Social St. both have a quiz this week as well. MCA prep is under way. We will be doing a variety of reading passages and going over reading skills, and learning new ones as we go. It is important your child be in school as much as possible so they don't get behind. Math is going to continue learning new material with review along the way.  I will have practice packets going home soon. These are great for keeping things fresh!! It is crazy how much they learn and have to remember, but it can be done, a little each day :)  If any of you are on the fence about Catch up Club, please consider signing your child up. They do not "have to" go every time. It is helpful if they do.  We have teachers on hand to help with homework and reteach concepts if needed. Great way to practice math facts and get that math homework done!!  Stay warm and I hope you have a great week!!!  Reminder...No school Monday Feb. 15 for President's Day.
