Clocks: We are now telling time in both 1st and 2nd grades. The first graders are just doing time to the hour and half hour. Second graders are telling time on 5 minute increments. Some of them are challenged with quarter to and quarter after the hour. If you have analog clocks at home have your student practice with the real thing rather than just a picture or paper clock!
Happy Birthday: Sasha turns 7 on March 16. We will look forward to celebrating her birthday next Monday.
Spring Break: Remember our spring break begins on Thursday, March 19 (No school on Thursday). We’ll be back in school on Monday, March 30. Several of us are flying out of Spokane at 6:00 AM on the 19th. Our destination is Italy! We return to Spokane on Sunday evening, the 29th. This trip has been in the planning for over a year so those of us who are going are pretty excited about the adventure.
End of Quarter: The last day of 3rd quarter is Wednesday the 18th. Parent-teacher conferences are scheduled for April 8 & 9.
There will not be a note next week. Keep this one for the spelling words for the week after spring break.

I am going there to prepare a place for you. After I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back.

Money: We are still counting money in math. Please give your student piles of coins to practice counting. The first graders are doing pennies, dimes, nickels and quarters. The second graders have added quarters and half dollars to the mix (if you have any half dollars!). Just a note of clarification—I haven’t been allowing the 2nd graders to actually use 50 cent pieces in their money counting. I haven’t had a 50 cent coin in my purse in a long time. I’ve asked the teller at my bank a couple of times if he had a 50 cent piece in his till. Both times the answer has been “no!” He said he could order one for me. Obviously they’re pretty rare in circulation.
Eating Outside: We’ve been able to eat outside for the last couple of days. It’s such a nice break to be able to drop crumbs on the ground rather than the floor and our desks.
Spring Break: Remember our spring break begins on Thursday, March 19. We’ll be back in school on Monday, March 30.
