March News!!!

We had a great time at the Alliance last week! Seussical the Musical was AWESOME!!! Thank you to all the parents who volunteered to chaperone.

We've just started a new science unit on the Solar System. The kids are loving learning about the sun, moon, stars and the planets. Take some time at night to look at the stars and the phases of the moon. You will be pleasantly surprised how much they know!

We're looking forward to Curriculum Night (March 6th 6:00-7:30)!

School wide Math Day is March 28th - we may need some supplies...we'll be sending more information home soon.

The CRCT is coming up in April! Start practicing now. Practice packets will be coming home soon. Lakeshore and School Box are great places to find resources to help prepare for the test!

Remember to sign your child's reading log and agendas/folders every night:)

Both classes are in need of white copy paper! Thanks so much!!!

Ms. Roberts, Mrs. Royal, Mrs. Butler, and Ms. Newman
