March!

Can you believe it's already the month of March? It also amazes me that Spring Break is only two weeks away. We have a lot still to do!
If you are interested in reading aloud to the class on Friday afternoons, please let me know. There are some open time slots. Our readers usually read four or five books (have your child help you pick them out) from 2:15 to 2:40. It's fun!
Congratulations to our class for earning their third compliment party! Thank you, Dorne, for volunteering to host our party!
Reminders:
This Thursday is a dress down day, pizza at lunch, and sundaes in the afternoon to celebrate our first grade parents participation in the Big Event.
This Friday is Oldie Goldie. If you have books that you would like to donate, they will be put to good use!

Robust Vocabulary:
March 1-5
deserve, usually, peaceful, variety, incredible, typical
March 8-12
