Celebration

The class has filled their yellow ticket jar.  The celebration for this will be on Monday. It will be hat day and gum day.  I know that I have a few kids that are not allowed to have gum. I have told them that they may bring a different snack.
Next week is Unit 4 reading test week. There will not be any spelling test or homework.  Please make sure that your child is getting a good nights sleep and eating a healthy breakfast before coming to school so their brain is "fueled" for testing.
We will continue to work on area and perimeter in math.  You will notice that along with some practice on those skills on nightly homework we will be adding some practice on multiplication, division, and rounding on the back of each math homework sheet.
We continue to work on muscles in Science.  We have built the leg and the thumb with objects to respresent bones, tendons, ligaments, and muscles.  We will build the arm next week and take the investigation test.
In social studies we finished the government and are now doing the Iowa unit.
Thank you for 100% participation at conferences! It is always nice to visit about the growth that the kids are making. A big thank you to all the PTI members and parents who sent in food to feed the staff while we were conferencing!  It was so nice to have a hot meal on those long days.
Remember that Monday is a snow make up day and there WILL be school all day.
The awards assembly is Friday at 2:15.
