April 29-May 3, 2013

Hello Room 21 families! California State Testing (CST's) begins this week for grades 2-6. Please be sure your child arrives to school on time and has a nice breakfast. We will be testing in the morning and will be done by lunch time at 11:30. There will be NO spelling packet for the next 2 weeks. Only a reading log and nightly math page. We are beginning a program called "rhymes and times" that has little "boogies" for each fact. It is supposed to be a fun way to remember the facts. So an additional multiplication page will be attached to the HM math homework.

A big THANK YOU to all who came out and supported the children during jogging for the arts. It's always fun to see how much effort the kids put forth (and parents) for such a good cause.

Our field trip to the Agricultural History Museum is coming up on May 10. Please sure to fill out the form and send it in soon.

Hope you are all having a wonderful weekend!

April 22-26, 2013

Hello room 21 families! This week's homework packet for Ramona Quimby will be due on Friday the 26th. It is the last packet before CSTs next week. We will begin testing the week of April 29 through May 8. We will also begin measurement and capacity in math while reviewing multiplication. We began the Solar System in science and will continue that the next few weeks.

Our field trip to the Agricultural History Museum is on May 10.  This is a fun trip and the last one in 3rd grade. Please be sure your driver paperwork is in if you plan on being a chaperone.

It's supposed to be a beautiful weekend, so enjoy!

April 15-19, 2013

Happy Spring! This weeks packet for Poppa's New Pants will be due on Friday, April 19. We will also finish up multiplying larger numbers and have a quiz later in the week. A field trip form to the Agricultural History Museum on Friday, May 10th will be sent home. With the new legislation, we are not allowed to ask for money for field trips. But, if you can send in $5.00 donation towards the museum, that would be great. If we do not have the sufficient funds to go, then donations will be sent back home with your child.

Thank you for all you do and the support this year. Can't believe it's winding down. State testing will begin the last week in April/first week in May. I'll give another heads up when it gets closer.

Have a great weekend!
