Welcome to a new week. I trust everyone had a restful, but active weekend and hope the weather warms up for all of us. It's difficult to go without our recess/snack time during the day. At least we've had a little sunshine and hope this continues.
Third quarter assessments will be completed this week and I've seen a lot of progress occur over the last 9 weeks. I am concerned that some students do not seem to be doing any homework and it is especially evident on the Sight Words with Samson database. This is a critical piece of homework that assists your child with Sight Word recognition, fluency rates in reading, spelling and writing.
We will work hard for the next two weeks and then enjoy a spring break away from school. I will have homework links for over the break and will also send reading books home for their enjoyment. 20 minutes a night is a minimum, and it REALLY makes a difference for those students who do this every night.
Please mark your calendars for these important dates:
Th.-3 April-End of 3rd quarter
F-4 April-No School for Students/Teacher Work Day
7-11 April /Spring Recess
17-18 April/Portfolio Conferences/Registration for SY 08-09
Your schedule will be coming soon :-)
