Quarter three is officially over! I cannot believe how fast this year is flying by. Report cards will be going home with students on Tuesday. On Thursday we will be going on our field trip to the John Deere Pavilion and the Locks and Dams. The students and I are really looking forward to it! I sent a note home with all of the students whose parents volunteered to come on the field trip.This note stated the names of the parents that will be going. I ended up having so many volunteers that I had to draw names out of an envelope! Our class is lucky to have such supportive parents! If you are supposed to come on the trip on Thursday, and for some reason can't, please let me know as soon as possible. Thursday is also Mismatched Sock Day for Mitochondrial Disease. Please bring in a small donation that we can donate to mitochondrial disease research.

The Week Ahead
English: We will continue our unit on capitalization and punctuation. We will also continue to practice writing with good sentence fluency.
Math: We will learn to measure and draw line segments to the nearest quarter inch, make an organized list to solve a problem, identify parallel lines and line segments, and identify the properties of quadrilaterals.
Reading: We will read a story called, If I Made a Million. We will also discuss cause and effect, fantasy versus reality, and interjections.
Science: We will learn a little about nutrition and how to read food labels. Dioramas should be brought to school tomorrow.
Social Studies: We will continue our unit about Illinois.

Just a reminder: No school on Friday, and the following week is Spring Break!

I hope everyone had a nice weekend. Happy St. Patrick's Day!
