9 weeks left!

I can't believe how fast this school year has flown by! I think the weekends fly by even faster! So much to do, so little time...

As we fly through March there are many fun and exciting things to remind you about:

~Most important - even though there are many things that are happening this half of the year that take us away from a "normal" day at school - we have to stay focused on learning... the CRCT is right around the corner and now is crunch time! PLEASE, PLEASE make sure that your child is doing their best work 100% of the time. Use the resources that we gave you at conference to help your child study for this very important test! www.georgiaoas.org and www.studyisland.com are excellent resources! Please use these weekly if not daily! Also, in order to cover all the necessary math materials we have decided as a team to have "mini math" lessons in our homeroom. So if your child has 2 sets of math homework please make sure they do both as they are both equally important!!!

Now for the fun stuff -

Mrs. DiChiara is putting  together our class basket for the Spring Carnival that is coming in March. Our theme for the basket is puzzles - kid puzzles, adult puzzles, crosswords, sudoku - any type of puzzle you can think of... please send these into school so that we can have the BEST basket to sell at the carnival! The spring carnival is set for April 18th! Send your donations in ASAP!!!Also, for the carnival our class must donate 6 cakes for the cake walk. Please send in a note if you are interested in donating a cake! Mrs. DiChiara and I greatly appreciate your help! 

We are starting our writing for Big Shanty's 2nd Annual Author's Night! Look for more information in this weeks Thursday folder! Please plan to join in on the fun April 1st!
