Report Card Letter
I wanted to take a minute and let you know how hard each and every student has worked this nine weeks. We were able to accomplish some difficult academic skills by putting forth our best effort, listening, following directions, focusing and working to control our impulses. You are going to be so pleased with their report cards and I am too! But more importantly, I am so thrilled that we were able to also understand the importance of and apply some skills that we need to be successful as children and as adults. The fantastic achievement academically happened due to their progress in those life skills. I'm looking forward to 9 more weeks just like these last few!

News and Information
Wax Museum Is Coming Up Soon!
April 13TH is the date of the wax museum. Please start working on your child’s costume. I need the costumes at school no later than TUESDAY, April 7th. Please don’t spend lots of money on the costume. It is nice to shop at Goodwill and other thrift shops to find pieces that will make the costume special. Just get as close as you can to the look and time period of the character and be creative!
Accelerated Reader: Last day to earn points for prizes is April 27th.
Report Cards: The 3rd grading period report cards will be posted to Skyward today. Please check them when you get the email that they are available.
Outdoor recess - As spring is approaching please continue to send warm coats with your child. Our morning recess is still cold, even though it warms up later in the day.
Reading
We began our 10th reading theme! For the next 3 weeks, we will be working on drawing conclusions and making inferences. We will continue to work on fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension skills as we get ready for 3rd grade.
Reading Homework: No reading homework this week!
Math
- investigating 2D and 3D shapes
English and Writing
Speech writing is complete! Look for them to come home next week- I'm shooting for Tuesday or Wednesday. Start practicitng those speeches- there is a lot of information and it will take some time to get them down.
