Welcome back to school! I hope you had a wonderfully relaxing and fun week with your family and friends.
I am having some trouble with my email, so please ask for a reply in your email messages to me. If there is something urgent please call school and leave me a message. Thanks for your understanding while it gets fixed!
A Memory Calendar for March was sent home with your child on Monday. The memory schedule for this week is as follows:
Tuesday: 2nd Article (see Feb. calendar) #204
Thursday: 2nd Article (see Feb. calendar) #222, #260

This week’s spelling unit is 22. Some extra practice at home will help your child with the compound words that are written as one word, those written as two or more separate words, and those that are hyphenated. The pretest will be on Tuesday and the final test will be on Friday.
The students will begin a study of adverbs in English this week. They will finish their stories about being invisible for a day and will share with the class. All 5th grade students will take a math test on Thursday. We will begin reading the novel The Sign of the Beaver in reading class, and we will also begin a new chapter in science on Earth and the Moon.
Grades 3-5 sing in the 7:00 PM Lenten service this Wednesday, February 27. Plan to join us for the supper held in the fellowship hall before church at about 5:45!
The field trip we were scheduled to take in April to see Pinocchio was cancelled. We will now be seeing The Wizard of Oz on Friday, March 14. Please read and return the field trip note asking for drivers and chaperones that was sent home with your child on Monday. I will need seven chaperones for the field trip. The chaperones will be taken on a first-come basis as soon as the paper field trip note is returned to school. Thanks!

Tuesday: Baseball Day
Wednesday: Dress-up Day
