NEW "In a Snap" Words
Students received a new 3rd Nine Weeks "In a Snap Word" list. Please practice these words nightly along with your child's weekly concept list. The "In a Snap" word list can be found inside your child's binder. Thanks!
***Spelling Test over NEW "It Takes Two" words on Friday, March 8.***
300 High-Frequency Words
Your child received a list of words to study at home. Students need to be able to read these words quickly without having to use decoding strategies. Write the words your child continues to miss on index cards and practice these words daily. Thanks so much for partnering with us to inspire strong and independent readers!
Can't find the list that was sent home? No problem!

Reminders
Field Trip Forms & Payment DUE MONDAY
We are so excited about our first field trip to the Fort Worth Museum of Science & History on Wednesday, March 20th. Field trip forms and information went home last week. All field trip forms and payment must be turned in no later than Monday, March 4th. Unfortunately, no late payments or forms will be accepted as we must turn in all checks to Ms. Gene on Monday. The cost for chaperones is $16, while the cost for individual students is $13. Thanks so much for your help in getting forms and payments turned in by Monday!
Morning Recess & Jackets
Please remember to continue to send a heavy coat with your
child in the morning. We go outside to recess at 10:45. The
temperature can still be very chilly when we go outside. You’re
more than welcome to send an extra jacket from home to leave
at school for those cool recess mornings. Please also write your child’s first and last name inside outerwear. Thanks!
Pop Tabs for Ronald McDonald House
The Pirate CFO Future Exploration class is collecting pop tabs to help benefit the Ronald McDonald house in Fort Worth. The money that is collected at the recycling center from the tabs is an amount that is a huge benefit to the Ronald McDonald house! Did you know from just the "pop tabs" collected in our area, the Fort Worth Ronald McDonald house receives between $5000-$6000 to help support the needs at the house? The aluminum tabs do not have to be only from "pop" cans. They can come from any aluminum can! Thank you for helping our Future Exploration students in supporting our community members!
Thank you for your help & support!
