NEWSLETTER MRS. TURNER
MARCH 19-23

MARCH MATHNESS- We are on a roll!! We defeated Mrs. Apple’s class last week and we defeated Miss Seagraves’s class today, 26-0!!!! Yeah! I can really tell how well our class knows their facts. I was more proud of their GREAT sportsmanship. We will play Ms. McArthur’s class on Friday. Be ready

REPORT CARDS- I will be sending home report cards on Wednesday. Please fill out your address on the envelope and place a stamp on it before you return it to me. That’s how I will mail the final report card home to you.

FISH TESTS- The hard work on the fish tests is really paying off. The students KNOW their facts. They aren’t just memorizing them for the moment. We will continue taking these tests to keep the facts fresh in our minds.


7 MINUTE TIMED TESTS- We will start trying to take these 2 times a week so students can pass all of them before the end of the year. They do not have to be taken in any certain order. Congratulations to Adam Forringer for being our newest Math Buster.

TERRIFIC KID- Congratulations to Palmer Fields for getting the Terrific Kid award for Commitment! Way to go Palmer!

SPRING BREAK- Students will not have school from April 2-6.

CRCT- We will be reviewing for the CRCT all this week and next. Continue to try the online tests at home. The test will be April 16-20. All third graders must pass the Reading portion of the test to advance to fourth grade.

ROOT HOUSE AND MARIETTA MUSEUM OF HISTORY- We had a FANTASTIC field trip! We learned a lot and the weather was great. The guides complimented the behavior of the students MANY times. I was extremely proud of them.

HERITAGE PARK FIELD TRIP- We will be going to Heritage Park on Monday, March 26th. I need one parent chaperone to go with us.
