Spring Break Is In the Air

Sorry for the delay in updating.  The McDevitt girls have March birthdays five days apart so this weekend had two birthday parties.  The McDevitt parents are a little tired.  Thanks for understanding.

Spring Break begins Friday at 3:10.  Enjoy a week without schedules.  I hope your days are full of adventures, imagination, creativity and lots of good books.  School will resume on Monday, April 1.

Information about our field trip to the theatrical production of Click, Clack Moo will come home on Wednesday.  Our chaperone tickets are filled but let me know if you are interested in case the other classes do not use all of their tickets.

We have a Spring Egg Hunt on Friday at 11:30.  A blue sheet went home last Thursday with details about sending in eggs for our class.  Please mark on each egg a number from 1-22.  For eggs 6 or 9, please underscore the numeral or write out the word six and nine to prevent any confusion for those egg searchers.  Let me know if you want to help beginning at 11:30.  Please send eggs by Thursday of this week.  Remember, no chocolate in the eggs.  I will provide the basket for hunting and collecting.

A new district policy no longer allows emails for absences.  A doctor's excuse or a note from a parent is required.  Please turn in excuses within two days of returning to school. 

In reading this week we will investigate the letter Ll as in "lobster in the lighthouse."  Word wall words for the week:  was, came, well, are, now.

In math, we are investigating,sorting,categorizing and problem solving shapes.  We certainly have fun as shape investigators.  Be sure to help your child use the correct vocabulary of vertex and vertices when speaking about shapes.



Monday is Nancy's Italian Ice for $1.00.  Please return library books and poetry journals. Monday night is Spirit Night at Chappy's in case you can't decide what is for dinner.  Picture day is Wednesday.  The children may dress out of uniform but within school dress code (no sandals, no spaghetti straps, etc. .)  Teacher Treat Day is Thursday.  (Thank you so much for contributing to this - it is really a treat for the teachers!)

What a fun March Crafternoon.  The classroom was bathed in green.  Thanks for the support from home and for the support within the classroom.  I believe Room 115 has the best parents in the school.  Thank you for loving every member of Room 115. 


Have a safe and happy Spring Break!
