Valentine’s Party
Thank you to those who brought treats and/or showed up to our party yesterday! It was great and the kids did an amazing job.
Science Fair
Starting next week, your child needs to have a topic picked out for the Science Fair (one that tests a variable). We will begin to work through the experiment form in class and they can begin testing at home.
Whiteboard Markers
If having money in your bank account annoys you, consider spending it on some whiteboard markers for your child and his or her classmates. We use whiteboards everyday and our stash of markers is running low. Thanks for your consideration!
IXL
Please continue to utilize the IXL website. Your child has been given a username and password and can enjoy unlimited access to the site. It provides wonderful practice to improve skills and help prepare for the upcoming MSP in May. Your child can practice on this site both from home and at school, and it is well worth their time.
Silverwood Reading Program
Remember to be documenting your child’s reading minutes on the Silverwood Tally Sheets. 600 minutes earns them a free Silverwood ticket. The sheets are due back to school by March 13, 2013. Let me know if you have any questions.
Have a great three-day weekend! Please let me know if you need anything. Many thanks!
