We have another Field Trip on the Monday, April 2nd, the day we get back from Spring Break! We will be going to the Paramount Theatre to see Junie B. Jones. We will be leaving at about 10:30 and getting back at 1:30. Please make sure to send your child with a sac lunch that morning! Also, check the weather to see if they need sunscreen (for lunchtime) or a raincoat. It is that time of year of wacky spring weather!

Knowing that last week was the first week of the time change
I expected tardiness to go up again. I
do want to express the importance of getting here a little earlier in the
morning for we start our day as soon as that 8:00 bell rings. In order to be successful in the morning we
need to be lined up before the 7:55 bell goes off so we can put our stuff into
our cubbies, check in, get a chair and a pencil so we can start our day. When we have CSAP’s on Wednesday’s like we
did last week and this, we must be in our specials class by 8:00! Please try your best to get to school early
everyday! Thank you for your help in
making your child’s start to their day a successful one!

This week is the book fair.
Our class will get the opportunity to go as a class on Wednesday during
theme. Students can just get ideas on
what to buy that day, or bring money.
Students will be able to also go during recess or during some free time
during the week with a pass. You and
your family are also able to go after school.
Look in this week’s Weekly Information on the dates and times. Don’t forget that you can also go to the book
fair on Friday and then play Bingo as a family.

Our class won for highest participation on the 1-2
team! Due to this we have earned an ice
cream party due to our great spirit. We
will be having this great event on Friday at 12:15 after recess. What I need is some parents to come in to
help scoop some ice cream during recess so it is ready to eat when them come
back in. If you can come in to help out
let me know.

I have found two parents whom are willing to burn us all a
copy of our Fancy Dancing routine- ‘I missed the bus’. I will send these home to you as soon as I
get them back-probably shortly after spring break.
I am still in need of any pictures from field trips or
classroom parties. If you were the
photographer at one of these great events, please burn me a copy. My goal is to burn all the pictures for the
year onto one cd for each child by the end of the year! Thanks for your help with this.

This week we are working on our second week of Rocks and
Minerals! This week we will be learning
about the three main types of rocks: sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic as
well as about the rock cycle. This week
our daily schedule will be off a bit due to CSAPs going on Tuesday, Wednesday
and Thursday for other grades. We will
be having specials first thing in the morning those three days, so be very sure
to be here on time this week! Don’t
forget we have Library Monday during the first half of theme.

This week you will be seeing handwriting practice sheets
coming home that are incomplete. Don’t
worry, they are supposed to be! I picked
up this new brain-based handwriting program at the Literacy conference I went
to in February. The research behind it
is that handwriting is stored in the same place as your emotions. This program (supported with many, many years
of implementation and research) addresses that research and has detailed
patterns that they work on daily, with almost meditation like music to go with
it to help them focus on the skill that day.
Students who are doing their best will be coming home with extremely
neat, incomplete sheets.

Have you been on any of our field trips or come to any of
our classroom parties and taken pictures?
If you have some, please let me know, burn them to a cd and send them in
before Spring Break. I am in the process
of putting them all together onto one CD and burning everyone a copy. We also have a DVD copy of our ‘Fancy
Dancing’ session of Missing the Bus. I do not have a way to burn DVD’s but
would also like to make a copy of this for each student, it is a must
have. If you have a DVD burner and time,
please let me know. I will provide the
disks. Than ...
