Field Trip Tomorrow

Tomorrow is our class field trip.  Since we will not be here to participate in "Tacky Day"  Mr. Parker said that we are allowed to wear uniform tops and jeans on our field trip tomorrow.  

Students need to be prepared for the weather because some of the activities will be outside.  Students are allowed to put 1 drink that is 20oz or less in the cooler.  Students need to have drinks and lunches clearly labeled and in disposable containers.  No lunchboxes.  If you have any questions or concerns please let me know.

Thanks!

Dreambox Challenge

I wanted to share with you exciting news about a nationwide DreamBox competition that will be taking place over the next few weeks! (March 14th-April 10^th)

 

In this DreamBox math competition where all classrooms will be competing in the amount of lessons they complete. It's a great opportunity for your students to continue to build conceptual understanding and procedural fluency – especially during testing season, whether they're at home, at school, or at the library. 

Every week if our classroom completes an average of 5 or more lessons, we be entered into the weekly drawing and the final 'Persistence Pays Off' Raffle at the end. The contest started on Pi Day (Saturday, March 14), so lets get kids on this program and working!

 

I'm attaching a flyer to this email as well as the parent letter that I sent home earlier in the year with the Dreambox login information.

For more information on this challenge you can check out this link:
