Hi All,
I hope you are enjoying the beautiful weekend weather.  This week we return to a normal schedule!

The spelling list is a review list, so the children have 3 pages of spelling practice instead of two.  There are no sentences to study.  This Friday there will be another multiplication Timed Test on 0-6.  Please encourage your child to review these facts.

Last week I sent home permission slips for our field trip to the MAH on March 15th.  Thank you to all who have volunteered to drive; we have a good number at this point.  I am still missing several students' permission slips, as well as their $2.00 donation for the museum.  If your child has misplaced their permission slip, please send a note requesting another, or download the form from the school's website.

The kids have begun gathering additional research about their "Famous Americans" this week.  We will work in class over the next several weeks to research and write a 3-5 paragraph first person speech from the point of view of their candidate.  The children will then bring home their speeches to rehearse before performing them for the class.  The due date for the speeches will be the last week of March, before vacation, with the kids presenting them over a couple of days.   I will send home a rubric with our expectations when the kids bring home their speeches.

Take care, and have a great week,
Carroll Mayer
