Week of 2/28

Last week we made our own models of the moon!

Dear Parents,

Can you believe it is March? This week we will be working hard reviewing long vowels, learning about money and preparing for the Terra Nova tests which will be taken next week. A schedule and a few tips will be sent home this week.  

Here are the reminders for this week:

- If you did not send in coins with your child, please do so ASAP! (4 quarters, 10 dimes, 20 nickels and 25 pennies).

- Test folders will be sent home Tuesday. Please sign and return on Wednesday!

- We will celebrate Ash Wednesday with Mass at 9:00am. All are welcome to join!

- There will be a Reading and Spelling test on Friday.

- Don't forget to have your child look up some leprechaun traps and start gathering the materials that they will need to build their own the week of 3/14.

We used different tools to make craters!
