Dear Parents,
There is so much to share! Where to begin?
First, please be aware that if we did not meet for a conference, your child's report card will be coming home tomorrow. Please be on the lookout for it. Unless we had a conference, please sign and return the report card in order to let me know that you've seen it. I will then return it back to you. Another option is to send me an email to let me know you've seen it. Please do this by Friday, 3/20.
Next week is Fitness Week! Our class color is light blue. T-shirts will be coming home today. Your child will also be bringing home a Rams shirt today. Please send your child to school in the Rams shirt on Tuesday for a Rams field day event. Friday, 3/20 is our school Fun Run. Please deck your child out in as much light blue as possible to show our class spirit!
On an entirely different note, coming home in the Corrected Work Envelope today is a diorama project related to your child's researched American hero. Please go over the directions carefully with your child, sign and return the green tear-off, and monitor your child's progress as he/she works. This is a perfect project to spend quality time on with your child. However, be sure that he/she does the work. This project is due in class on April 22nd. Please do not send the diorama in early, as we have limited space in the room.
As always, let me know if you have any questions.
Mrs. McLoud
