Field Trip Update!
Due to some serious behavior issues with most of the class the last couple of weeks, children will be required to have either a green or white card (i.e. acceptable/respectful behavior) every day for the rest of this week in order to go on the field trip next Monday, April 11th. If your child has to remain behind, we will find a class for them to stay with while they do extra review work for the day. You will also be refunded your $5 if you have already paid it.
Also, in order to go on the field trip we need more parent volunteers or we will have to cancel. (Volunteers must be fingerprinted in the front office or have a fingerprint clearance card.) Please let me know ASAP if you can attend and help out! Be sure to turn in all forms and money or children cannot attend!

Book Reports
We have started book reports in class and next week they'll be added to the weekly homework! Students will read a book at their level and fill out a report form about the story they read. All book report forms being sent home will have been introduced in class already. Therefore students should be familiar with the report forms. We ask that the work is done by the students but supervised by parents. After school cannot accommodate helping students with this type of homework assignment. Book reports will be in addition to all other weekly homework. Enjoy reading with your child and helping them be sure to understand what they read! Keep on reading!
