Post date: Feb 24, 2017 9:55:34 PM

Mrs. Fike has graciously extended the deadline for the Six Flags Read to Succeed forms to be turned in because a few students were under the impression that this not a mandatory assignment. Please encourage your child to complete their reading and turn in their signed logs on Monday.

This week in Reading our main selection is a folk tale called Fly, Eagle, Fly! Tested vocabulary words from the story are:

clutched, echoed, gully, reeds, scrambled, thatch, valley

Our Spelling words for Friday's test all have the VCCCV pattern and are:

monster

surprise

hundred

complete

control

sample

instant

inspect

pilgrim

contrast

explode

district

address

substance

children

merchant

embrace

purchase

curtsy

contract

Please continue to encourage multiplication fact mastery with daily practice at home. I am keeping track of each child's individual progress with mini quizzes twice weekly and we will celebrate victory when we get through those 12s!

We will celebrate Ash Wednesday with a prayer service in Church at 10:00 a.m. You are welcome to attend if you are able.

I'm excited that we will be attending a performance of Once Upon A Mattress by Marist Theatre Guild students in March. I'll send home a permission form when all the details are worked out.
