Well, it finally hit me! I got that ugly stomach virus that all the kids have had the last few weeks. I missed most of Friday at school, but I’m sure the kids did fine with their sub. We have practiced on our program the last couple weeks and only have a few days left of practice before the big show. Be sure and have your child practice his/her reading loudly and slowly and with EXPRESSION! The students have worked really hard. I hope to see all of the parents and family there for the program; Thursday evening at 6:00 in the elementary cafeteria. The students will need to be there by 5:45 dressed in their cowboy/cowgirl attire or red, white, or blue. A note will be coming home with graded papers tomorrow with more detail.

In math this week, we will spiral back around to addition/subtraction and their relationship with fact families. In our reading we will continue to read and study Texas history and some fun Texas selections and relate these things we have learned about Texas in our writing.There will be no new spelling words this week. Look for a new list when we return from Spring Break.

Spring Break is the following week. I hope everyone enjoys their break with family. Come back to school ready to start back up with new material. See you Thursday!
