End of term testing this week, Monday-Thursday.  Please have your student get plenty of rest and eat a good breakfast each day.  Remember there is no school on Friday for students due to the end of third term on Thursday.  

Homework this week is due on Thursday, March 19:

1- Math Homework:
Keep practicing your math facts!  Please note: Because we are moving into “double-digit addition and subtraction,” it is now more important than ever that students get their basic addition and subtraction math facts memorized.  It is a great idea to use Xtra Math: https://xtramath.org/ (find login info HERE) during the next several weeks to help memorize math facts. You can also use flashcards, etc.  

Math Homework this week due on Thursday: 
Chapter 8 Lesson 3
Chapter 8 Lesson 4

Additional Resource (Not required to turn in as homework):  Ch. 8 Vocabulary

2- Reading 20 minutes per day. Library Day is Tuesday-send your students with their checked out books. 

3- Timed Fluency Practice.  This daily one-minute timed fluency reading will help your student become a fluent reader.  It will also count for reading minutes.  Click here: Fluency-Week-23-Timing-Sheet- (Due on Thursday)

4- High Frequency Words:  (You choose how to practice and prepare for the Thursday spelling test.  One option is: Spelling City)
words
around
another
came
work
REVIEW WORDS:

come

SENTENCE
Where is my book?

SPELLING SENTENCE  13 POINTS POSSIBLE ON TEST (one point for each correctly spelled word,  5 points for correct uppercase and lowercase letters, 3 points for finger spaces between words, and 1 point for the correct punctuation mark at the end of the sentence.)

If your child is participating and building a leprechaun trap with your family,
they are due back at school on Monday the 16th.  Please send your
child’s leprechaun trap with them.  I will be taking pictures of them Monday
night and we will see if we have trapped any on Tuesday morning.

Mrs. Tuey will be subbing for me on Monday.  I will be taking pictures of
the kids leprechaun traps Monday night and posting them on the blog.  
We have a lock down drill, followed by an evacuation drill scheduled
for Tuesday, March 17th in the morning.  We will be walking to 
the LDS church we were evacuated to last month.  Feel free to 
talk to your children about this being a practice and only a drill.  
I will be doing the same.

I just wanted to let you know that your students are amazing!  With the evacuation and having a substitute they did really well.  I know it was a scary event for everyone, especially our kiddo’s.  Give them an extra long hug and tell them how proud I am of them!  

Our substitute, Mrs. Tsosie was amazing! The students listened to her and she got all of them safely to the church. Thank you, thank you! 

The school is safe and the student responsible has been identified and not returning to the school.
