Week at a Glance
In Math, we are already moving on to a new unit that teaches us about money. We are doing the last few observations of our corn, some crazy things happened with those plants and we have loved investigating them! In Science, we are talking about ideas we have for our own inventions. In Social Studies, we are talking about natural disasters. In Reading, we are working our way through Charlotte’s Web. In Religion, we are talking about Jesus’ life leading up to Holy Week.
Once again, the fourth quarter reading log requires 100 minutes. In addition to this, students now have the opportunity to complete ONE of the boxes on the back to tell me more about the book (or chapters) they read for the week. If the assignment is done well and is neat, they have the opportunity to earn 15 extra points for their team. This is getting them ready for the book reports they will do in third grade next year. If you have any questions, just let me know.
Field Trip
On Monday afternoon, we are going to the MLM Garden and Orchard. Students will receive a Faith at Work t-shirt on Monday at school, and since we will be doing some work outside, they are to wear jeans and close-toed shoes (we might be getting a little dirty, so make sure they are an older pair). All students need to have a booster seat with them. I will send out information to drivers as soon as I have enough listed to drive!
There is also a permission slip coming home in this week’s Thursday Folders for the Rodeo Field Trip at the end of the month. It needs to be signed and returned by April 10th.

Spelling List Charlotte’s Web Week Three
Spelling lists are a total of 15 words now. If they receive a 10/15, it will still be counted as 100%. I want them to be familiar with the words we are reading, but some of them are a bit more of a challenge. Let me know if you have any questions!
Memory
Colossians 2:6
Therefore, as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him.
