Field Trip- Special Note
If you would like to join us for the field trip to the Roller Rink on March 11th, please feel free!  We will be walking over at about 12:35, and if you would like to skate the cost is $3.  If you would like to just join us, I believe that there will be no charge.  See you on Friday!

Writing-

Our class finished our bird projects this week and the books look great! We are now working on how to write a friendly letter. The students next week will write a letter to one of their favorite authors, hoping to get a letter back.

Re-enrollment-
It is that time of year already! Re-enrollment papers should be turned in as soon as possible to make sure your child gets settled into a spot in 5th grade next year. Forms are due by March 11th.

Math-
This week in math we have been working on division and bringing down numbers. We have also been working on remainders. Our math test will be Thursday the 17th.

Science Test Complete-
In science we finished our unit on fossils and rocks this week. I was very pleased with how the students did on their tests. We are switching classes now, so Mrs. Nawrot’s class will be going to Mrs. Alexander’s class for social studies.

Science Fair-
Pink sheets for the science fair project were due last week. Science fair boards were sent home this Monday, along with a layout of how the board should look. Science boards are due March 17th.

Book Orders-
Thank you for your orders! The book fair is going on right now in our school library. It is going on until the 9th of March. It is open till 5:00 p.m. each day.

Reading
March starts reading month. We have Leslie Helakoski, an author, coming to talk to our students. We are doing DEAR (drop everything and read) right now in class.

Mrs. Kostecki-
I am looking forward to our field trip next week. I can’t wait to experience my first one! I am hoping I don’t fall too much!
