Dear Parents,
Report Cards: look for them in your child’s Friday Folder today. If your child skied, then you can come by and pick it up off your child’s desk in the classroom.
Reading Restaurant -- Weds. April 13: Your Reading Restaurant invitation is on a bright sheet of paper in today’s Friday Folder too. Please pull it out, sign it, and return it on Monday.
Our Theme in this Classroom: Greek Inventions.
Attire: Togas – er—um, “Chitons”. See the instructions in the Friday Folder for helping your child make his or her own for the R.R.
Can You Help? I would love to have help next week tracing a dozen or so overhead-projector images of Greek inventions onto butcher paper for the kids to then color in. We also need to make a door to our restaurant –made out of either a slit butcher paper image of Greece or a door made from a fridge box with an image painted on that.
Bridges Math Night: March 29th, 6:30-8:30 in the WCS dining hall. You’ll have a chance to do some math the Bridges way-- some math activities – to get a feel for how it’s done. It should be interesting. Childcare, refreshments, and door prizes.
Conferences: If you haven’t signed up yet and don’t know how, contact me and I can resend the link. Conferences are this coming Friday and the following Friday. Feel free to bring the report card with you. I look forward to seeing you. Email if you have any questions.
That’s it for now. Oh, yah. That and the fact that it's almost sunbathing weather out there.
Talk to you soon.

Dear Parents,
Well. That was a thumping. Raise your hand if you’re sore from shoveling.
It was good to finally start the school week today! We spent writing time today using good details, how our families fared in the blizzard. We are excited that Reading Restaurant will take place on the 13th of April, and we’ll have a chance to share all our writing with you.
Because we’re getting a late start to the week, there will be no Letters-to-Home journal coming home tonight. We will pick that up next week.
Parent-Teacher Conferences: Please sign up for conferences on March 25th and April 1st. (12:00-4:30). I sent you a link today in an email.
Buy your Variety-Show tickets tomorrow!: The Williston FAP Annual Variety Show sells out fast. It is this Friday (7:00-9:30 p.m.) It’s always a blast – with students, teachers, parents, and other community members performing. Horizon Teachers and Parents will be singing two songs – Good Lovin’ by the Rascals, and I Can See Clearly Now by Johnny Nash. Tickets are $5.00 apiece. They are on sale only at WCS ( in the front hall) from 7:30 a.m. to 8:15 a.m. and in the afternoon from 2:30-3:45.
Reading Logs: Please keep up with the reading logs this week. We will be tallying them and picking from the treasure chest on Friday. By the way, thank you to those of you who have generously contributed to our Reading Treasure Chest. The kids are blazing through my kids’ forgotten Hot Wheels cars, so we welcome any little old toys you would like to pass on in the name of reading!
Greece: We are beginning our workshops on Greece tomorrow. They will go for five weeks. Students will learn about Greek inventions, Greek pottery, Greek Drama, the Greek Olympics, and the overall connection between Greek culture and our own.
Have a great rest of the week, everyone. See you at conferences.
