Almost every student in our class participates in Running Club, and it would be great for us to offer some support for this amazing program. We are in need of volunteers on M/W/F before school (approx. 8:05 – 8:45) and T/Th at recess (10:50 – 11:30). Please contact me if you are interested! Living the Dolphin Way Living the Dolphin way is doing the right thing, even when no one is looking. Thank you for helping your child live the Dolphin Way at home and at school! Thank You! Thank you to the Rose family for your donations! Wish List: We are in need of the following items – *Erasers (not pencil toppers) *Running Club Volunteers – Before school on MWF, from approximately 8:05 – 8:45 Important Dates and Reminders: 3/21: Report cards sent home 3/21: Movie Night – Frozen 3/27: Open House 3/31-4/4: Spring Break Learning Goals: Word Work: Students will learn to read and spell words with R-controlled vowels. Please see the front of the newsletter for examples. Reading: Students will practice retelling the stories they read using the setting, character, beginning, middle, and end. Students will also discuss the change in character feelings as the story progresses. Math: Students will continue their investigation into place value. With an understanding of expanded form, students will move on to identifying patterns in numbers, and comparing two numbers to find which is greater. Writing: Students will learn the structure of a narrative paragraph. We will write a narrative together about a shared experience. *Social Studies (American figures and symbols) and Science (Habitats around the world) are embedded into reading and writing assignments.
