March 30-April 3

Good Morning!

We had such a fun time at Boyce Thompson Arboretum last week. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to all of you who made sack lunches, made sure your child had enough H2O, and especially my chaperone's! It would not have been a successful field trip without all of your help. Thank you! 

There will be no Spelling tests or lists until after AZ Merit. We are working in our ELA workbooks, Math workbooks, and Science workbooks for the next several weeks. We are down to the last few weeks to prepare and will really be cracking down. 

Please make sure your children are here and prepared to test during that week. We are hoping to not have any absences. 

Oration Contest permission slips are due. This years topic is American Poets. 

Permission slips to have your child tested for the gifted program are also due today. The testing will take place this spring. 

Important Dates: 

Wednesday: Half Day- Teacher Training

Thursday: Picture Day!! 

Friday: No School-Good Friday 

Have a great week,

Ms. T

Students may bring a blanket and pillow to get comfy somewhere in the room. Don't forget your favorite book to read or two! Children may also bring in a snack for that time. 

Then end of quarter 3 is coming up fast! Check grades in IC so there are no surprises. I add new grades weekly. So they change often. 

Our class showed TONS of growth on our last Galileo test! I bought the kids Popsicles last week since they did such an outstanding job! Way to go! Thank you for all of your help.

A heads up that we are hoping to have 100% attendance for the AzMerit test. We do not want to have to have kids make up the test during instruction time. Please plan ahead now to have your students here. Thank you! 

Spring Break is March 16-20 No School that week. 

We are studying weather and we are going to have some rain this week! YAY! As your student about what we are learning!

Thank you parents for all you do. This is an exceptional bunch of students and I don't have to look very far to see why! You are wonderful. I love these munchkins and am doing my best every day to plan, prepare, and execute engaging lessons. We are working very hard in class. These kids are amazing! 

Love,

Ms. T
