Field Day is Friday! Please have your student dress for the weather. We start at 8:15 or so. It can be cool still. We will have a picnic lunch. Have your student bring a towel.
Thank you all for helping to get all of our Media Center books in. It is a big job for our Media staff to get all of those books in and re-shelved.
Please remember that the last book project is due next Tuesday.
Have a great week!
I thought that everyone would enjoy some pictures!
One of our tadpoles ......... 
One of our first Painted Lady butterflies.....
Our famous Chia Pets!
The students have learned so much about life cycles! Encourage them to be observant about the other cycles in our world.
Plan now for your child's summer reading. The public library will be here at school next week to get them excited about summer reading. It is the single best thing that you can do to make sure that your child starts third grade confidently.
Thanks again for all of your support!
Welcome to "Animal Kingdom"! We have three butterflies, four tadpoles and one crawfish. Thanks to Tate and Oliver, we have four healthy tadpoles that appear ready to sprout their hind legs. Carrie Grace brought in a crawfish for us to look at.
The homemade "Chia Pets" are coming home today.
Please have your student start thinking NOW about that last book project. It will be due Tuesday, May 20.
Be on the lookout for photos of our animals!

Monday has brought all kinds of excitement! The larva made their chrysalis................our homemade "Chia Pets" have sprouted their hair!
Please remember that the April book project is due Tuesday.
Continue to practice spelling words. Many students can spell "different" but still have trouble with "many" or "they".
Congratulate your student on their perseverance through the CRCT. It was very long and required a lot of concentration!

Homework:
Our butterfly larva has arrived. The students are very excited! I think that we have timed it correctly so that the butterflies come out of the chrysalis AFTER CRCT testing. It usually creates a lot of excitement!
I have uploaded powerpoint presentations that the students did as a final project for our year long tree observation. I hope you can enjoy them!
Please remember to have your child here at school on time and well rested. They are all prepared to do well on the CRCT!

Have a great weekend!
Welcome back! All the students seemed excited to come back to school and I was glad to see them.
We have a couple of very busy weeks ahead. CRCT testing begins next Wednesday. A well rested, well fed, and unhurried student usually does their best on these days.
Please continue to practice spelling each evening. Spelling is mostly visual. Have your child study words carefully, cover them, and then write them from memory. Just calling out words orally doesn't always help students develop the visual image that they need for the word.
On Wednesday, April 16, Ms. Hill will host a workshop about the CRCT. She will be sharing tips to help your child do their best on this assessment. It will be at 7:45 AM in the Media Center.
Find the states. You will need a map.
