Easter is upon us and what wonderful weather we have been having to celebrate this wonderful time of year! I hope this weather holds up for us to have a super Easter Party this Thursday. Remember Thursday is not an early release day but we do suspect many students will be leaving early following the party. Just make sure you sign your child out if you check your child out early. Our party will be at 11:30 at the Pavillion. Thanks to Mrs. Ormes for organizing our parties this year and making them such a great success! Remember, NO school on Friday.

A BIG congratulations to our class for selling the most chocolate bunnies! Our class sold $1935 total! Mrs. Koonce has promised us a reward coming up. Another big WOOHOO! to Morgan Benge for selling the 2nd most of the primary school, and to Connor McClurg for selling 2nd most for our class. Good job!

This past week in math we completed our work on 2-3 dimensional shapes and began adding 2 digit numbers (with no regrouping of course). This next week we will continue adding and begin subtracting 2 digit numbers., all the while analyzing place value. We are beginning a book/author study of Doreen Cronin and will be using this in our writing. Our word work will be cycling back to adjectives, verbs, and synonyms and how to use these to make our writing more exciting. There will be no new spelling words this week but there will be a spelling test/dictation on Tuesday.  In reading we are working in our Guided Reading groups and analyzing our books for better comprehension.

Our Author’s Tea is coming up on April 29th at 11:30. You will receive an invitation this week. Of course we want all who can attend to come and enjoy the students’ writings. Each student will read a book he/she has written sometime this year and then they will serve our guests tea and cookies. The program is in our classroom and does not last long.

Thanks for everything you do!

Mrs. Benson
