We had a busy, but fun day today. We did buddy reading with Miss Bailin and Mrs. Dressel's class in the morning as our Right to Read Week activity. We took tests in Science, Spelling, and Social Studies. We played Battleball. To finish the day, we rewarded great effort and responsibility on the Math Madness by watching "Homeward Bound." We even enjoyed had some popcorn to get the full movie experience.
Grade cards. These went home today. Please review the grade card and report included and return the envelope signed on Monday, April 8.
Science test. Check out your child's test results here.
Reading over break. All students are expected to complete a book and take an AR test over it when they return after break.

Culture boxes. Great job on this project! The boxes, artifacts, and facts gathered looked terrific. We hope that your child learned a lot from this project about their heritage. If so, send Mrs. Manos a quick e-mail telling her this!
AR Pizza party. Today was the last chance to earn points for the AR Reading goal this quarter. I will send out an e-mail after I have a chance to check the final report as to who earned this for reward. The pizza party will be Wednesday. I could use a donation of one 2-liter for the party.

Parents,
Another 100% homework turn in day! Awesome!
End of quarter. Tomorrow is the last day of 3rd quarter and will be the last chance for your child to earn AR points toward their goal.
Spirit Day. Wear BLUE tomorrow!
International food fest. Just another reminder to be sensible about items brought in for the food fest tomorrow. They need to be individually prepared so that they can be passed out quickly and easily after lunch tomorrow in the classroom. Please respect the fact that I do not have access to normal kitchen supplies like napkins, forks, knives, plates, etc...
1k/5K Run/Walk. I had a lot of students tell me they were planning on beating me in the 5K Powerhouse run on April 13th. My response was to that was, "go for it." I'm not fast, but I know I'll beat everyone who's not entered! So far I haven't seen many entry forms submitted. This could be a great incentive to get your child outside and exercising something other than their thumbs. ;0)
