Dear Parents,
 
It is so nice to see the sunshine! Here are some highlights of the week and reminders:
 
Math: We had fun learning about area, perimeter, capacity and much more in math this week. There will be a test over chapter nine on measurement and probability at the end of next week. 
 
Our Reading month began with a great start. We celebrated Dr. Seuss’s birthday by looking at some of his popular books which included Green Eggs and Ham. Then we got to enjoy eating green eggs and ham. What fun!   
 
Guest Reader: We had a couple of special guest readers this week. Mrs. Reinke read us the Funny Photo Alphabet and Mrs. Humphreys read us Fancy Nancy. Everyone really enjoyed all of our special readers, so thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to read to us.  
 
Field Trip- On Thursday March 18th, we will be traveling to the Chippewa Nature Center and participating in the Maple Syrup Program. The actual program is from 9:30 am to 11:00 am, so we will be leaving school at 8:30 and returning at 12:00 pm. We need to have a couple of volunteers to ride the bus and join us on our trip. If you are interested in going with us, please make a note in your child’s planner. Please fill out the permission slip and return it by Friday, March 12th. Thanks!
