Welcome to the 4th nine weeks. Wow...It's here already.
Report cards come home on Thursday this week. The promotion / retention sheet will also come home on that day. Please sign it and return it on Friday.
We are starting NEW A.R. goals this week for the fourth nine weeks. Your child will spend their 3rd nine weeks points at the A.R. library store when we return from spring break.
Yes you need to expect library books to come home each night to be read.
ALL LIBRARY BOOKS ARE DUE THIS THURSDAY. Students will NOT keep them at home over spring break.
ALL our weekly tests will be given on Thursday of this week.
Friday we have computer lab, music, a special math lesson from Mrs. Pam from AMSTI, shaved ice at P.E. ($1.50), our gotcha party at the end of the day, And a relay for life balloon release at 2pm. (if your child wants to release a balloon that day send in $2) It will be a funfilled day to kick off spring break.
Wednesday this week we have counseling with Mrs. Bush and our Spring Pictures. Please send the order form with money on that day if you want to purchase them. And... dress your child nicely that day too. :)
Spring Break will be the last week of March (26th - 30th) Do not come to school that week.
Return to school on April 2nd and we only have a 4 day week. There is no school on Friday April 6th.
Our spring fling will be April 14th.
Finally we want to celebrate our March Birthday's
Both Alurrian Jones and Travasia Duncan celebrated with us Last week. Happy Birthday Girls.
Have a Great Week.

This week will be incredibly normal compared to the last few that were filled with extra activities.
This week marks the crossover between the 3rd and 4th nine weeks.
Monday - Wednesday we will be completing all grades for the 3rd nine weeks in Math and Science. We will also be completing any missed assignments or make up work in all subjects due to absences.
All grades were completed last Friday, for the 3rd nine weeks, in Reading, Language, and Spelling.
This week we will be introducing U.5 W.2 weekly reading story, language skill, and spelling words. These grades will be the first grades in these subjects for the 4th nine weeks.
*Your child will have NORMAL homework all this week.
(A nightly reading passage, spelling practice pages, read the weekly story, and read an AR book)
**We only have a few more weeks to reach our 3rd nine weeks AR goals. Please encourage your child to Read, Read, Read as many Library books as they can. They are so excited when they get to SHOP at the 20 point table at our Library store.
Our special class this week is Library on Friday.
I know there have been VERY good reasons for students being absent or late to school lately. However, It would be helpful if everyone made an extra effort to be in school this week. Any missing work/test scores will turn into a zero in the gradebook if not completed. All final grades will be turned in on Friday.
In science we had an extra special measurement lesson last week. Please ask your child about watering our alligators and how much their's has grown. We will be observing the changes over the next month.
Special thanks to those of you who sent in Paper Towels and Tissues. We really needed them and appreciate it a lot.
And last but not least the kids really enjoyed making OOBLEK last Friday. Corn Starch and water makes for an interesting MIX of a solid and liquid. It has qualities of both... But can be classified as neither... It's just a mixture.
We will be experimenting with mixing and separating solids and liquids this week too. That will finish up our unit on Solids, Liquids, and Gas.
March 23rd will be our last school day before Spring Break. We will have NO SCHOOL the last week in March. Please mark your calendars and make proper arrangements for your child's care.
Don't forget to pay for the upcoming "bowling" field trip. It's ten dollars. We have only one chaperone spot left so if you want to come please let me know as soon as you can.
Have a Great Week!

We had a Fabulous Dr. Seuss Week. The kids really did a great job dressing up each day. And our Friday Parade was very fun.
Our Class won 3rd place in the 2nd grade. The kids are ecstatic about it since they created their own fish to carry on their fishing poles. Our class book was McElligot's Pool and the story line is that nobody can catch a fish in that pool it is just where they throw junk. So the boy imagines that it connects to the ocean and then a whole lot of Dr. Seussy type fish are able to be caught.
We want to send a special thanks to Rachel's Mom for helping with the parade and being a guest reader. We also want to thank Mrs. Jacki for being a guest reader as well. Friday was read across America day. And... Our Gotcha party. We Smurf Danced with the wii. Most students in our class were able to attend. Hopefully next time all of us can. We are starting over to earn 6 gotchas to go to the next party. And then after that...Our incentive field trip gotcha party.
Thursdaya night I was pleased to see those of you who attended reading night. Thanks for coming.
This week begins Unit 5 for us. We are back to all normal homework routines. Yes we have:
-spelling practice pages Mon. - Thurs.
-reading passage practice Mon. - Thurs.
-read the weekly reading story Mon. - Wed.
Our special activities this week are: Counseling with Bush on Wed. And a special Math lesson from the Auburn University Amsti teachers. And it is Shaved ice day on Wed. Bring $1.50
Friday we have Music and Computer Lab.
Special thanks to those of you who sent in either paper towels or a box of Kleenex. We are using both very often this time of year with runny noses and trying to prevent sickness spreading. We are ALWAYS in need of these items if you ever see a deal and want to send one of those items in.
Have a Great Week.
