I hope you all had a good weekend! In the next few weeks, I will introduce the Spring Play to the students and start passing out parts. I will post all of the class play details on the blog the last week of March (the week before spring break). 

This week’s happenings
Tuesday – Library, Please remember your book!
Friday – Math Test  & *Dollar Dress Down Day to support the Quest Junior High to get to the National Rube Goldberg Competition in Indiana. 

**Multiplication Madness is going well. All the students will have a daily opportunity to pass off any facts that they haven’t mastered yet.  We will focus on 6’s & 7’s this week. Your students need to be able to pass of their multiplication facts 0-12 by March 28th.  If you have any questions, read the post from a few months ago with all the details.  Thanks for all your hard work at home!!! 
**Keep practicing poems as well**

Upcoming Dates

Math in Class
We will be starting our unit on TIME.  Students need to be able to read an analog clock to tell time to the nearest minute. Please look for the family letter to come home Monday. Next week we  will be learning about Elapsed time.  This is a hard concept for students, so anytime you can talk about Elapsed time during a conversation, it would greatly help! 

Homework: 
MATH: Make sure that your child is doing Reflex for math and getting the green light AT LEAST 3 times during the week.  If students do not complete Reflex at home they will complete it during recess time. 
READING: Please read 20 minutes every night and keep track of your minutes on our reading log. ******* I would love it if you would have your child read out loud to you for at least 5 of those minutes!*****
