Dear Parents,
What a wonderful week with your students! Even though February weather is unpredictable, we had a full week of learning.
Cruise Write Along: Students will be enjoying our writing activities the week after Spring Break. In preparation, I am asking for help to decorate our classroom on Thursday, March 9 at 3:00. Ms. Babbitt also needs assistance with her room as she does not have a HR Mom. All hands on deck!
From the Counselor: March is here! As of today, there are ONLY 60 days left of school. So guess what our Character Word of the Month is? PERSEVERANCE!! Perseverance means that you keep going...you keep pushing yourself--even when you want to give up. If you are doing homework or a chore, you keep working until you are done. Giving up is not an option. In March, if your teacher sees you showing perseverance, then you will get a sticker to wear all day so that other students will know that you demonstrated our Character Word of the Month!
French Enrichment: French instruction will begin next week...Ooh la la!
Field Trip: Wow! What a great field trip to the Bob Bullock Museum. A special thanks to Ms. Wyrick, Ms. Byrne, Ms. Morgan, Ms. Hall, and Ms. Bhaskaran for volunteering to assist on this educational trip.
Books for Book Buddies: Please be sure your child has age appropriate books to read to their first grade Book Buddy on Friday, March 10.
Reading Homework: Please have your child read a minimum of 20 minutes each evening. This helps with stamina for longer reading passages. Week #3 of the reading log is due on Friday.
