What a great week we had! It was nice to be back and see the kiddos - I miss them when I'm gone! Mrs. Murray did a great job subbing for me, because the kids told me she was "just like you, Mrs. Smith". That's a good thing! : D
We wrapped up Africa this week with the students writing a book comparing the Maasai Mara tribe with themselves. It was a good little assessment to see what the students learned...they all did a great job!
We also had quite a few assessments in Math and Reading, as I am preparing to do report cards this weekend!
It is really rewarding to see how much improvement there has been since the beginning of the year! It is exciting to see the difference between September and March! Wow! Report cards will go home with your child on Friday, March 18th.
The kids are very excited for their concert on Thursday...they have been practicing and practicing! They will continue to have practices this coming week as well!
The last thing I wanted to remind you of...this Tuesday, March 15th is class picture day! I thought it would be kind of fun if we all dressed in Mariner's t-shirts, or sweatshirts, or if your child doesn't have a Mariner's shirt, then they can just wear blue or green. Baseball season is right around the corner!
I hope you all enjoy a restful weekend (remember it is daylight savings on Sunday - spring ahead!) and may the luck of the Irish be with you this week!
