School Is In Session Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday Next Week
Our Easter Break will begin on Thursday, April 2nd. We will return to school on Tuesday, April 7th.
Book It! for March
Please return completed forms to school by Wednesday of next week. Thank you to all who participated in this program! Not only do students get extra reading practice, but several yummy pizzas were enjoyed as well.
Classroom Distractions
As stated in the school handbook, "children are not to bring toys or similar articles to school unless requested to do so by the teacher. Items such as water guns, jewelry, hair accessories, other electronic items, and the like which might be dangerous, or have damaging effects will be collected and retained by the teacher." Thank you for your attention to this matter!
Religion
Memory Work for the Week of March 30th:
Tuesday (First and Second)
The Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost. Luke 19:10
Reading
Next week will be unit test week over Unit 4 in our Reading books. This means we will not have regular Tuesday Reading homework since we work hard on Unit tests each day in class and we will not begin a new story. Please take this opportunity to review all of the Unit Four vocabulary and sight words which can be found on the February 13th through March 20th News and Notes posts.
Spelling
We will not be having a spelling list next week. Instead, we will be working on a writing project to help us wrap up Unit 4.

First Grade Items Needed
For upcoming Math lessons, we will be building a classroom "grocery store". I would like to have each first grader bring in one empty food box or container that we can use for this project. Please have these items at school by Wednesday of this week.
Second Grade Item Needed
Since second graders are working out of two classrooms, we are having some issues with school supplies. It would be helpful if each second grader could bring one new eight count box of crayons. They can keep this box downstairs, and also have crayons upstairs in their pencil boxes. Please send this new box to school by Friday of this week.
Thanks in advance for your help on these projects!

We started checking in on the nest last week, and it was empty. On Monday, we peeked, and the eagle was spiffing up her home. And on Wednesday, we found a very snowy eagle who was sitting on two eggs! By Thursday, she had another egg, and we were lucky enough to see the mom and dad switch places in the nest! This camera offers a live feed of the eagle family in Decorah, Iowa 24/7...see the link above marked "Eagle Cam"!
