THIS WEEK: Monday, March 24 - Sunday, March 30, 2014

NOTES:  Don't forget to return your Fieldhouse permission and $.

Our class READ challenge AND our school READ challenge have started, so 'get reading.' :-) Don't forget to log your minutes into Biblionasium.

Wednesday, March 26th: Our Demonstration of Learning will take place from 4:00 - 7:00 p.m. Hope you can make it. Plan to stay for at least a half hour, as your son or daughter will have lots to 'demonstrate.’ You will get a really good idea as to how they are doing :-). 

 Friday, March 27th: There will be no formal classes today, as other classrooms will be having their demonstration of learning or formal conferences this day. 

THIS WEEK'S ASSIGNMENTS:  This will be a two-week assignment. I WILL NOT be giving you any class time this week, but there will be some class time next week. I expect you to start the assignments at home this week, and work on them, so they are at least half done by next Monday. I will be watching closely online to see who is signing in and showing themselves as responsible and organized students in Term 3. DO NOT LEAVE THEM TO THE LAST MINUTE.
