Happy March Break! I hope everyone has a safe and relaxing break.
Just a quick note to let parents know that we cleaned out the coat hook area of our classroom today. Indoor shoes and extra clothes were all sent home with the hope that parents will check sizes and season appropriateness and then send back what's needed when we return next Monday.
A request: Later in the week when we return we will be building balloon operated cars using 500 mL water/pop bottles and a variety of bottle caps. I have a few, but not enough to go around. If you can, please save a few bottles and as many bottle caps as you can over the next week. A variety would be useful, so lids from juice bottles, milk cartons, pop bottles, and whatever else you can think of would be greatly appreciated. Old film canisters also work well for this, but those are few and far between these days. A girl can dream...
A challenge: The March Break Reading Challenge is on! Prizes will be forthcoming for anyone who provides evidence that they read 9 or more books over the break. That's just one book per day. For those reading chapter books, a minimum of 9 chapters is required. Raz keeps track of what you have read, so that's an option. If the kids are reading books elsewhere, they have been asked to write down the titles of the books and have a parent sign it.
See you soon!
Ms. S
