Next week there will be regular classes on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. The students will be working on their ABC State Report book. They will be expected to complete three letters in three days (4-5 sentences plus a picture). They can choose whatever letters they want to complete. The students who will be gone are also expected to complete three letters so they won't fall behind.

Before break, we will take a look at percentages, fractions, and decimals.  The students will manipulate between the three.  They will have math Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.  Thursday will be a homeroom only day.

Language Arts/Writing

We are still working our way through the adjectives to describe our nouns and will try again to have a test next week.

Religion

During this Lenten season, we are looking at practicing kindness.  I ask the class to come in early at least once to help me out with the simple act of kindness.  I try to do this before school at about 7:30.  If you are able, I understand the limitations, to bring your child in at 7:30, please ask them to sign up with me for a day.  

As a part of our mass, we have asked each of the other classes to list acts of kindness that they have witnessed. we will be posting the entire school's acts of kindness in the hallway.

The Iditarod has started.   The students each received a couple of mushers that they have looked up and know a little about.  
Each student can go on and track their musher, on Iditarod.com.  username Lastrace  password:  MrBdogs
Students can track mushers on the GPS tracking.
