News and Notes.....
- Our Field Trip to the Shedd is this Monday. Please bring a bag lunch, as we will eat at the museum.
- Team 201 will visit the Book Fair on April 11 and April 15.
- Next Friday, April 12 is a 1/2 day for students.
- Report Card Conferences will be help on April 17. I will send home a scheduling preference sheet soon. If you would like to schedule a longer conference, please feel free to send me a note and we can put a date on the calendar. Report Card conferences are about 10 minutes, which can be pretty quick!
- Our next shared novel study will be Because of Winn Dixie, by Katie DiCamillo. I only have one copy of the book, and am hoping that 201 families can visit their local library or bookstore to get a copy. It is a fantastic read! We will read a short selection from the novel next week,as it is included in our Harcourt Storytown.
- If your child has lost their copy of Holes, it will need to be replaced. Please contact me if you have any questions.
