Rodeo Ridin', Glass Slippers, And Dancing With Your Dad


Hi everyone!  I hope you're enjoying your Rodeo Days break.  Has anyone gone to the Rodeo Parade?  If so, I'd love to hear about your experience!

In the meantime, here are the spelling words for next week.  You can get a head start on them over the weekend. 

GROUP 1: eat, sea, each, team, please, dream, treat, beach, clean, lean

GROUP 2: colors, draw, drew, great, over, show, sign, woman, pumpkin, coach

GROUP 3: delightful, original, tangle, royal, imagination, carve, peer, sighed, castle, happily

In addition to studying your spelling words, I wanted to let you know that we'll be reading a version of Cinderella.  The focus for GROUP 1 and dictation is on -ea words.

Cinderella isn't the only once going to a dance!
 
I'd also like to remind you that the Father-Daughter Dance is coming up on Friday, March 6th from 6:30-8:30 pm.  Get those dancin' shoes ready!
 
Also, please make sure your children are working on RAZ Kids & Reflex Math at home.

And last but not least, we have a new classroom need...

2 boxes of Lucky Charms cereal for St. Patrick’s Day Math.

Have a great weekend.  See you next week!

La Fiesta de los Vaqueros

Howdy, pardners!!

Rodeo Week is here!! 

That means we will NOT have school on Thursday or Friday of this week.  That's right...

NO SCHOOL

Why, you ask? 

Because it's time for La Fiesta de los Vaqueros!!  Yee-ha!

In addition to that great news, we will not have spelling or RED folders this week.  However - you're not entirely off the learning hook - I would like everyone to use RAZ Kids and Reflex Math. 

Try to have the kids do RAZ kids (on-line reading program) and Reflex Math (on-line math fact fluency program) at least 4 times each this upcoming week - 20 minutes on each one for a total of 40 minutes of homework for 4 nights. 

Also, please remember that Library Books need to be returned Monday.

And, just in case the news didn't sink in yet...
                 
There will be NO SCHOOL Thursday 2/26 and Friday 2/27.

Enjoy your short week and your long upcoming weekend!
