March 2 - 6

Reminders:

• Leprechaun Traps are due ONE WEEK FROM TODAY!!

• Spelling - The assessment for Lesson 8 words is on Thursday.
• Guided Reading - We are now finished with reading Flat Stanley.  Be sure to stop by the library during the Celebration of Learning to see the tri-fold projects the students completed.  We are now back into our regular Guided Reading rotation.
• Science - The unit test for Wheels and Levers is today (a study guide went home last week and was on the blog).  This week will see us going over the test (please sign and return it when it comes home!) and starting the new unit, Waste in our World.
