The projects for African American History Month were great and the class learned so much from the presentations.

Lent has begun.  The children have an individual cross that they will glorify.  With each act of kindness the children will color in one section of their cross.  The crosses will be used at the prayer service during Holy Week.

Terra Nova tests begin on Monday, March 2,2009.  Students need to have a good nights sleep and a healthy breakfast each day.  Please send a healthy snack and drink for the morning break.  Test results will be sent home in May.

In Social Studies the students are identifying United States symbols and holidays.

In Science the students are having a great time doing many activities using scales and magnets.

We have completed another reader.  A new vocabulary list will be sent home Friday.

The trimester ended on February 28, 2009.  The new Accelerated Reading goal will be 4.0 points.

Most of the class achieved their reading goals for the second trimester.  Let’s try for the entire class this last trimester!

Hope to see all of you at the Friday Fish Fry.  It is a great way for you to earn your volunteer hours.
