NEWSLETTER MRS. TURNER MARCH 16-20

REGISTRATION CARDS- Please look over the registration card, make any changes and SIGN, DATE and return.

REPORT CARDS- Report cards will be coming home on Thursday. I will go over each child’s report card with them prior to Thursday. Please sign the signature card, address the front of the envelope, and place two stamps on the envelope. That’s so I can mail home the final report card.

TARGET FIELD TRIP- Target students will be going to Fernbank on Wednesday.

ABSENT- I will not be here on Tuesday. Jill Batchelder will be my substitute.

ST. PATRICK’S DAY- Students may wear green tomorrow if they wish. Some “green” snack foods will be provided, so students do not need to bring a snack tomorrow. We will be doing some activities related to St. Patrick’s Day.

BUCKLE DOWN- We will be taking the Buckle Down Reading post test next Wednesday. The Buckle Down Math post test will be given next Friday. Please get to bed early on the nights prior to these tests. Take them seriously.

ACCELERATED READER- This is the last nine weeks. Can you believe it? Once again, students will be asked to earn 10 AR points. Please be aware that students will really only have 8 weeks to accomplish this goal because the “P” Party will be during the last week of school. Also, the media center closes before the year ends so that all books can be accounted for. Plan early!!!!!! Read, read, read! We started off the nine weeks with Pop and Read, so hopefully that helped students get off to a great start!

PIE DAY- This Friday will be PIEDAY! Everything we will be doing that day will involve pies in some way. The students have worked very hard on fractions and measurement, so this will be a fun culmination to the unit. For our day to be successful, we need donations from home. Please send in your assigned item by Friday, March 20th. My item is:
______________________________________________________. If you are unable to send in the assigned item, please let me know so that I can get it. Also, an optional challenge Pie Day sheet will be given to students on Monday. Try to complete the sheet by Friday. Students with correct answers will receive a special prize.

PARENT HELPERS- We are so thankful for all of our parent helpers. Please remember that if you are on the calendar for a MONDAY, you are our Mystery Reader from 11:30-11:55. You can bring books of your own, or you can read our class book.
