Happy Friday!!!

Report Cards are coming home today.  If you have questions please contact me. You may contact me via phone or email.  Email tends to work the best.  If you have a lot of questions or concerns and would like to sit down and discuss them we can set up a conference that would actually take the place of a conference on the scheduled March 22nd date.  Remember that our report cards are a look at each trimester separately.  The numbers from the 1st trimester have no effect on the 2nd trimester numbers at all.    
 
Happy Friday and Happy Birthday to Dr. Seuss.  In honor of Dr. Seuss's birthday we watched the movie, Horton Hears a Who. 

This morning we had an assembly to discuss our PBIS (Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports).  We found out that out of the 108 students in 3rd grade only 7 of them received an ODR in the month of February.  The PBIS goal for the month of March is to get as few ODRs as possible.  At the end of the month we will be having carnival type celebration with a different game in each room.  The carnival will last for 1 hour.  Each ODR that a student receives will cost them 15 minutes of the hour.  0 ODRs = 1 hour of carnival.  1 ODR = 45 minutes of carnival.  2 ODRs = 30 minutes of carnival. 3 ODRs = 15 minutes of carnival. 4 ODRs = no carnival.  The goal is for each individual students. 

We also took a spelling test this morning and that should come home with students this afternoon.  The reading selection test we took yesterday will not come home until next week.  We haven't had a chance to review it yet. 

We have reached the end of our 4th unit of Reading.  Next week will be the Unit Benchmark Test for Unit 4.
