Homework:
Read for 30 minutes
Math—Geometry
April 15th we will be having a Multiplication/division quiz (some kids have moved on to division) please practice with your students.
Scholastic order forms are going home today. If you want to order books please have the orders to me by April 9, 2010. Remember, you can order online. Each time a parent orders online I am able to order a free book for our classroom library. The kids love new additions to the library. If you do not order online checks are the easiest ways for me to make the payment. Cash is fine too, but if you can, checks are the best.
For those I did not conference with, I am sending home a parent handbook with strategies for Multiplication and Division basic facts. If this works great, do what works best for your family and student. I am just passing along information I have.

Homework:
Read everyday of spring break. Reading logs are going home today, and a log from the library is coming home to keep track.
Students are also bringing home their Cool Country Report. Much of the work they need to get done is from the internet. We have had a number of class days to work on them. I would like them to all be done my March 31st. We will then work on a speech the students will make.

Homework:
Read 30 minutes
Find an interesting article in the newspaper or magazine you would like to respond to in your writing journal.
Field trips coming up:
May 14th, we will be going to the Oregon History Museum.
The permission form will come home within the next couple of weeks. If you'd like to chaperone, please let me know. We're planning to pull out on the bus at 9:15 and be back at school at 2:00.
If you would like to chaperone and already have a completed background check form, you should be fine. If you have not completed one, but would like to go, contact the office (503-399-5548) as soon as possible to request those forms. It takes several weeks for the background check to be clear, so you'll want to get that ball rolling. If you have done a background check, but it was 5 or more years before the date of our trip, it will have expired. This especially affects you parents who may have done the background check when an older sibling was in kinder or first grade. I can check your expiration date if you would like.
Another event to put on your calendar is our Down By the Riverside trip to Willamette Mission State Park. That will be Friday, May 21st.
We are working on planning a trip to the zoo at the end of the year. Those plans are tentative at this point, but we're hoping to book the trip for Friday, June 11th. Stay tuned for more info on that soon.
