        Conference confirmation slips are in this week's Tuesday packets-please let me know if you can make it to the scheduled time.
       We have a field trip to Bemidji State Park this Friday, February 26th. We will leave right after specialists and will be gone until the end of the day. Please make sure your child wears appropriate gear as we will be outside. Unfortunately, I am unable to go due to an appointment- so there will be a substitute for me that day.
        We have a spelling test on Thursday due to our field trip on Friday. Please encourage your child to practice those words!
         Our Social Studies test will be on Wednesday this week. I have created a Jeopardy game for students to study. The link is https://www.jeopardy.rocks/firstcolonies
       Remember February is I LOVE TO READ month! We are trying to reach 6500 AR points as a school. So far we have about 4,000 and have 1 week left! Make sure to check the calendar for other activities.
On March 2nd, parents are invited to read with their child from 1:45-2:45 here at school for Dr. Seuss birthday. I would love to see you!
I hope I remembered to include everything!
Have a great week!

I hope everyone had a great 3 day weekend. It sure was nice to have an extra day to catch up on things. We will have the same spelling list for this week and next and test on the words Thursday, February 25th.
We will be having a Social Studies test next Wednesday, February 24. Students have taken notes everyday for this chapter. I encourage them to look over the notes when they can.

We switched our groups' rotation this week. Students will still go to each class, it may just be in a different order than before.
