Week of 2/19

Thanks for coming in and reading to us, Mr. Gompers!

Dear Parents,

I hope you enjoyed the long weekend! We will start doing some review for the Terra Nova test that will be taken in late March. Here are your reminders for this week:

- Be on the look out for a special blog being sent out this week showing what we have been doing in Science for the past few weeks!

- There will be a math test on 10 more/less, 1 more/less and adding and subtracting two digit numbers on Wednesday.

- On Wednesday, the 8th grade is hosting their Business Day. We will be visiting in the afternoon. The price range of the businesses is $.50-$3.00. If you would like to send in money for your child please do so in a labeled envelope. No food or drink will be sold.

- Yearbook pictures will be taken on Friday. Please do not dress down! Thanks :)

- We will have a reading and spelling test on Friday this week. The Magic Words and the phonics skills (long o and soft c, g, and dge) will also be tested from "The Big Race."

- Please consider sending in a donation for one of our fellow first grader's cousin, who is fighting Leukemia. A note with further information will be sent home today.

- Information about a Leprechaun Trap project will be sent home today! We read a story about how to trap a tricky leprechaun and some ideas of how to create a trap. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Have a great week!
