Hope everyone sprung forward and is not to tired today! The kids were just great this morning. Maybe that is because they were still in their sleepy mode. Spelling will be a bit different this week since we are taking a reading skills assessment test. I gave the children a practice test today which consisted of 30 words first graders use in their daily writing and reading. Most of the words have been on previous tests. I'm proud that they have learned how to spell these words!

With no school on Friday I decided to give the kids another day to return their book order money. Please on Tuesday remember to have book order money and pictures/money turned in. Thank you!

During spring break the children might want to work on their puppet for the Puppet show. This is a required activity and the show will be video taped. I'm looking forward to "Show Time" in April.

Thank you to the parents who have given me notice that they are leaving a few days early for spring break. This allows me to finish up testing and get scores in before your child leaves. Progress Reports are handed out on Friday. For those leaving early I'll try and get your child's report to you. Dakota is headed to Pennsylvania (now that is a good spelling word for her - I even had to look this one up), Laredo is going to Corpus Christi, Logan to Branson, MO and Mrs. Seirer is headed to sunny California on Friday! We'll spend the week in Los Angeles with my brother having fun at the beach, and then on to Palm Springs for some rest and relaxation at a resort! Only 4 more days . . . .
