Happy Monday!
This week will be a little different since it is show week! We will spend quite a bit of time practicing on the stage this week for our dress rehearsal on Thursday and our performance on Friday. Therefore, we will not have a spelling test or new vocabulary words.
Please remember to send your child's costume to school on Tuesday. We will keep them in the classroom and wear them for rehearsal/performances the remainder of the week.
I can't wait to see the USA cake! We want the completed cake to be a surprise for the children, so please have your child enter in the back door to the classroom on Friday. Parents should drop the cake off in the third grade hallway. I'm sure it will look amazing and taste delicious!
School News:
Class Picture Day is Tuesday. Children should wear their uniforms.
Relay for Life Cook-out is this Thursday. Please remember that Sage is not providing lunch that day. You may purchase a hot dog lunch or you may bring a sack lunch instead.
Field Day will take place on Thursday, March 7 from 9:00-11:00.
Spring Break begins for students on Friday, March 8.
Reading Week will take place the week of March 18-22. The Oldie Goldie Book Sale will be on Friday, March 22nd. We are collecting books now.
I look forward to seeing all of you this Friday at our program!

Happy Tuesday!
We had a wonderful Valentine's Day! The children were very excited about their Valentine boxes.
Everyone did a great job, which made it difficult for the two classes that voted! But the winners were...Duncan with Funniest Box, Sabrina with Most Romantic Box, and a tie between Emma and Luke for Most Creative Box.
This week and next week the students will be hard at work practicing for their third grade program next Friday. We will not have new vocabulary words since we need the additional class time to prepare. We will, however, have a spelling test this Friday. I hope finding a costume and gathering ideas for the state cake is going well. Please email me for suggestions if you need assistance.
Some School News...
Report cards will be published online Thursday, February 28.
Class Picture Day will take place on Tuesday, February 26. Order forms were previously sent home.
Relay for Life Cookout will take place on Thursday, February 28. Please place your order as soon as possible if you have not yet done so. Sage will not serve lunch that day. Please bring a bag lunch if you do not wish to purchase the hot dog lunch.
Field Day will take place on Thursday, March 7.
Wishing you all a wonderful week!

Hello Everyone!
This Friday is a Professional Development Day for teachers, so we will have our spelling test on Thursday. We will also have a vocabulary test that day as well.
This Thursday is Valentine's Day, and I can't wait to see the creative Valentine boxes! The children have been talking about how excited they are to share their creations! We will have a sweet treat and pass out Valentine's before going to Spanish in the afternoon. Please refer to the family directory for a list of children's names.
Today we started partnership reading in Reading Workshop. Please be sure to ask your child the book they selected and how it's going so far. We are continuing to write Realistic Fiction stories in Writer's Workshop. Our math unit will remain focused on geometry this week. We will have another lesson in motion and design this week as we experiment with our cars in science. Our social studies lessons this week will center around the Anasazi Indians. Of course, we will also practice for our show!
If you wish to place a book order, please send in the order with a check payable to Scholastic by Wednesday.
Wishing you all a wonderful week!

Also, Valentine's Day is coming soon. We are having a Valentine box decorating contest.
