Book Fair:
March 1st-5th is our spring Book Fair! This is a chance to add to your home libraries. I encourage students to find “Just Right” books for themselves during this time. This is also an opportunity to add to our classroom library. Many of the books in our class library have been purchased by me, so any time I can wrangle in a donation or two I advertise! J All teachers have a wish list of books they feel will enhance their classroom libraries. Please feel free to chose a book from that list and donate it to your student’s classroom. The kids love getting new books. I have had some kids battle it out to get to the new books I have brought in.
A fl yer will go home today.
Book Fair Hours:
Before School 8:30-9:15
After School 3:00-4:00

Homework:
Read 30 minutes
Math—subtraction with borrowing
Practice for the science fair
Reading logs (My Soap Box):
Last week only 12 out of 28 kids turned in their reading logs. There are some kids who have not turned in a reading in the last 5 weeks. I am hoping that even though they have not turned in a reading log, they are reading. That is the most important thing to me. I understand that it can be a pain in the neck to fill these out. Maybe your family can develop a homework system. The most important thing is, your child is reading a “just right” book everyday for 30 minutes. I have noticed that some kids are only reading for 30-45 minutes a week. Those are the kids who need the reading the most. If your student is below grade level in reading, the only way to move up is to read.
Science Projects are DUE TOMORROW!!

Homework:
Read 30 minutes—Reading logs are due tomorrow
Math—Multiplication
I am going to start sending home less homework. I am hoping this will improve the amount I get back from students. Because I am sending less homework home, I do EXPECT it to get done and be turned in. I understand it’s hard as a parent to get kids to sit down and do the homework (my time is coming sooner than I think). It’s only going to get harder once middle school hits. If you have any concerns about this change in the homework, let me know.
FYI
This Thursday is Science Night! Gilbert House is bringing some great activities for families to do together.
If you listen to 105.1 the Buzz in the mornings you will know about the “Valentines Day for the CCA” It’s a fundraiser for the Children’s Cancer Association. You can help this Thursday by ordering a pizza from any Papa Murphy’s. A dollar of what you spend goes to the CCA. Plus Papa Murphy’s have the heart shaped pizzas available only $7.99.
Speaking of Valentine’s Day….Make sure your student has a box ready to collect their Valentines in. They can bring them in Feb. 11th and 12th!
