March Happenings

March is a very busy month in Room 202. On Monday, March 16th, we will begin the PSSA test. We have been working very hard to prepare for these tests. Please be sure your child is well rested and eats a good breakfast.

March 17th is Go for the Greens Day where children are encouraged to eat vegetables. We will be snacking on fresh veggies that day here at school. If you would like to send in vegetables with your child for a class snack, please let me know. We will also be participating in a Produce Pentathalon next week. Your child should have brought home a letter explaining this and coupons. Each day next week that your child eats fruit or vegetables at home, please fill in a coupon and send it back with your child. If your child returns all 5 coupons, they will be treated to a special prize.

We are still following the Iditarod. Each day, students are writing in their musher journals. They are recording what is happening to their musher out on the trail. The students have been very excited about this. They can't wait until I pass out the current race standings each day. I predict that the winner will arrive in Nome sometime on March 17th or March 18th. Be sure to check out www.iditarod.com to stay up to date on all the happenings.
