March/April

Time is going so quickly! We will be doing lots of important learning during these last nine weeks of school. Please continue to make school an important priority. Every child has made remarkable improvements since the beginning of the year. Thank you for your support at home!
Our Easter party will be on Tuesday, March 30th. Thank you again for the parents who volunteered to provide items for the party! It is greatly appreciated!

Please return the March reading calendar with your child’s reading time recorded on it by Monday, April 5th. To qualify for the free pizza, remember our goal is 15 minutes a night for five nights a week. (300 minutes a month)

Thank you for bringing in box tops! The Spring contest goes until April 30th so please continue to send them in! It is a great way to earn money for our school.

Mr. Oldroyd will be taking teacher requests for next year from April 1st to April 15th. They need to be in writing, have a 1st and 2nd choice, and have a valid, educational reason for the request.
Thanks for all you do. Please call or e-mail with any questions or concerns.

Please continue to keep track of your child’s reading times for our read-a-thon and return the calendar (the one on tan paper that was sent home in your child’s homework folder) this Monday and again on Friday with the minutes your child reads to someone or someone reads to them. Please put your signature on the paper as well. The final day to bring the calendar back is Friday, March 26th.

Lin’s Food Market now has boxes at the front of their store for each school in the district. Please turn in your Lin’s receipts in the South box. You no longer need to send them to the school—Lin’s will count the receipts for us which will be so helpful!
Our Easter party will be on Tuesday, March 30th. If you signed up to bring something, a reminder will come home on Monday, March 22nd in your child’s homework folder.

Thank you for your support and help at home. It is greatly appreciated. You have wonderful children!

We had a wonderful celebration for our Read-a-thon kick-off. The PTA once again gave the students a fun, exciting experience to get them pumped up for reading. Please continue to keep track of your child’s reading times for the next two weeks and return the calendar (the one on tan paper that was sent home in your child’s homework folder last Monday) each Monday with the minutes your child reads to someone or someone reads to them. I know it includes other activities to do as well, but thought it would be easier to have you put the reading times on this same paper rather than return the classroom calendar each Monday. Please put your signature on the paper as well. The final day to bring the calendar back is Friday, March 26th.

Please talk to your children about “Stranger Danger” without causing them alarm. Two attempted abductions have occurred In Iron County in the last few weeks. A reminder about safety is always helpful!

Thanks for bringing in box tops. We are collecting quite a few and appreciate your help! As always, thank you for your continual support in making your child’s education a success! Please feel free to let me know of any questions or concerns!

Thank you so much for coming to your child’s SEP (Student Education Plan). I enjoyed meeting with you and appreciate your effort and support in making your child’s education a top priority! You are wonderful parents! It is exciting to see the progress in each one of them. They are awesome and I enjoy spending my days with them.

We will begin our South Elementary read-a-thon Monday, March 15th. Thank you to our PTA for helping with this event. The theme is centered on the Olympics and students can earn gold, silver, and bronze awards depending on how many minutes they read. You do not need to do separate times for the Olympic reading but instead just combine the reading times with our classroom reading calendars. I’m sure more information will come and then I will send home a flyer explaining the details.

We will continue to learn more sight words (are, do) and write in our journals. We will master the numbers 21-30 and learn about subtraction, time and money.

Have a great week and thanks again for everything!
