Interest Day Fun and Family Day to Come!  What a great day we had today with interest day.  The students were excited and seemed to have a great time.  Now we have family day to look forward to in just two weeks.

• Family Day: Speaking of family day…Please be sure to fill out the survey located in my weekly email.  This will help with planning purposes and should be completed by Sunday, March 6^th.  Thanks! For those unfamiliar with family day, this is a special day in which parents/grandparents/special adult friends get to spend the day with their child.  We will have Chapel followed by different activities in the classroom.  Dismissal is at 11 am.
• Reading: The completion of reading Winn Dixie is this week!  We have hit the peak of the mountain and are wondering if Winn Dixie is lost forever.  What a fun journey we have been on with Opal.  We are also continuing our work with our book clubs.  Ask your child about the book they are reading with their group.
• Math: We will start the week with a review and test. Then we will learn about prisms, counting cubes, and volume.
• Spelling: Our words this week will focus on words with the following syllable pattern – cvvc with a syllable break between the vowels.  You may practice these words on Spelling City using unit 21 which has fun games and activities to learn the words.  https://spellingcity.com/users/Haas
• Religion: The Israelites journey from Egypt to the Promised Land is nearing completion.  This week we will learn about the 12 spies and Korah’s Rebellion.
• Writing: Poetry month is April.  In preparation we will be doing a fun poetry unit led through video by Tanner Olson who is a Christian author with “Written to Speak”.  We will also be doing author’s chair with our stories that we completed this past week.
