*10 minutes of MobyMax language daily (40 minutes total due Friday)

* Reading comprehension summary journals. 5 sentences for each journal entry. 3 journal entries due Friday. I will be changing this assignment after we come back from Spring Break. Kiddos are more then welcome to type their responses & send them to my email (dpayne@inlandleaders.com) or make a copy and turn in Friday.

Field Trip~ There are still 2 kiddos that have not turned in their field trip forms. Our final numbers must be submitted to Legoland by this Tuesday. Any kiddo without a signed permission slip by Monday, March 14 will not be allowed to attend.

Because the field trip is so far away, we purposely planned it for a day in which there was no school the next day. You are more then welcome to stay and close the park. Those choosing to stay longer, must sign your kiddo out before the bus leaves at 2:30. 

I will have all names of those who would like to chaperone placed in a hat and the office staff will select 6 names. If your name is selected, I will return the check to you. 

Information~

In order to avoid any confusion and/or concerns about school issues please come directly to me. I want to make sure we are all on the same page.

Pennies 4 Peace ~

This is our last week to collect pennies/coins for our class community service project.  The kiddos are doing a fantastic job donating. Keep those pennies/change coming in.
