Day 6!

March Break!
March break has arrived! Students will return to school on Monday, March 23rd! I hope everyone has a wonderful March Break and enjoys their time with family.
I have sent home a math package that focuses on the spelling of numbers from 0-1000. Students have been asked to complete this package without using the answer sheet on the front, then go back to make corrections using a pen/ pencil crayon so they recognize the numbers they have difficulty spelling. I would love to see all students complete this over the break if they have a chance as it will benefit their spelling of numbers, which I have noticed everyone has area for growth on. 

Spelling Bee!
Our annual Spelling Bee takes place on April 7th (Grades 3-8). The lists that your child can start studying went home today. Please be sure to read over the rules so that you and your child have a clear understanding of the rules that will be followed during the competition. I will go over these rules with the students in class as well. Upon our return from March break, I will inform you of when our in-class competition will be.
