March

Hello!
I can't believe it is finally March. We only have 3 months of school left! I hope you are still motivated in your studies, and working harder than ever! We have the AIMS test coming up in April. To prepare, I would like you to continue to read every night (at least 20 minutes!) and study your math facts.

Spring Break is coming up this month (March 19-23). I know that you are all very excited to take a rest from school, however, it is important to keep your brain moving EVERY DAY! You can do this by doing puzzles, reading a book or magazine, or even playing math games!

We are working hard to get ready for the AIMS test. We have been working very hard in our Buckle Down books and I am proud of each and every one of you. This week we are discussing prefix and suffix in reading. Remember, prefix is a word part that goes at the beginning or a root word and suffix is a word part that goes at the end of a root word. Why not try and make up some of these and quiz your parents? You'd be surprised at how much you actually remember from our lesson!

Have a great month! As always, please check our classroom Twitter page. I update this page nightly and you can check it for daily homework as well as events happening around our school. Just copy and paste this URL into your web browser.
