Week 20

Hope everyone had a great snow day!
Here are some events to look forward to for next week (weather permitting):

* We begin our annual Read-a-thon next week! Your child received a packet with more information on Wednesday; please review it with your child.  This is a great way to help the school while doing something we all do anyway: read! Please remind your child to log in his/ her reading time, which includes the reading s/he does for the weekly response. Even if you are not planning on participating in the fundraising aspect of the event, each child will receive a certificate for participating if they turn in a log. The Read-a-thon will last up to Friday, Feb 18th.

* Our Armory trip from January 18 has been reschedule for this Tuesday.

* We will also have our Unit 5 Math test on Tuesday. The focus will be on multiplication strategies, estimation, elapsed time and some other topics from previous units like the In and Out Boxes.

* On Friday, we will go to Prospect Park Zoo with Ms. Gamboi. There we will participate in dissecting an owl pellet to better  understand the food cycle of an owl. There will also be some time to wander around the zoo.

Have a safe and warm weekend!
