NEWSLETTER MRS. TURNER MARCH 17-21

ST. PATRICK’S DAY TREAT- Many thanks to Mrs. Hendricks for bringing us a special St. Patrick’s Day treat and for being our Mystery Reader.

POP AND READ- We will be having a pop and read tomorrow to kick off the last nine week period. We will discuss goals for the 4th nine weeks tomorrow. Students may bring sleeping bags, blankets, drinks, and snacks and of course…BOOKS!

ACCELERATED READER- Everyone is doing a great job meeting their AR goals, however, some students have dropped below the 85% overall comprehension level. That MUST be 85% or higher during the 4th nine week period in order to go to the “P” Party. Make sure you read the books carefully and that you really look at the author’s name before you commit to taking the test.

FIELD TRIP- We will be going to the Root House and the Marietta Museum of History next Wednesday. Mrs. Mufti will be our chaperone.

REPORT CARDS- Report cards will be sent home on Thursday. Please sign the signature card and return it in the UNSEALED envelope.
