We're so excited!  Our field trip is finally here. 


On Monday, we will be traveling to TD Convention Center in Greenville to look at all the great inventions other kid inventors have made.  Please make sure to wear tennis shoes and your Oakland T-shirt.  If you don't have an Oakland T-shirt then wear black, blue or green.  We will be leaving Oakland at 9:15 and will return by 12:30 in time to each lunch. 















The remainder of the week will be spent preparing for our own Oakland Invention Convention.  We will be working on scripts for our commercials Mon - Wed.  Hopefully on Wednesday, we will be ready to start filming every students commercial. 






We are finishing our unit on subtraction with regrouping and plan to test this unit on Wednesday.  We are also finishing our unit on supply and demand.  We will test this on Thursday.  Look for a study guide for Math and Social Studies to come home on Monday.


Finally, thank you all for your help with our inventions.  The children are super excited about the convention and they can't wait to see what everyone has created.  I hope to see you all there. 

WHEW!  What a February.  I'm glad its over.  Now maybe we will have some warmer weather and Spring will finally arrive. 


Our Inventors unit is underway and we are so excited for the many inventions students will be bringing our way on March 18.  We are also excited about our Field Trip on March 16.  Don't forget to send in your permission form and $3.  The Invention Convention at Oakland will be held on Tuesday, March 24. 


We have a full schedule again this week, as we run our Boosterthon FunRun today!  All the students are super excited about that.  Also, we are celebrating Dr. Seuss this week during our Read Across American Week.  We will have a character parade on Wed.  Students may dress as a favorite book character that day.  Please make sure it is a book character, not movie or video game. 


We are also once again serving ice cream on Fridays for $1.  If your child would like ice cream, they may bring a dollar to lunch and after they have eaten, they will be allowed to buy their ice cream. 


This weeks newsletter was sent home last Friday.  Please take a moment to look it over.  If you have questions, please email or call and let me know.  Have a wonderful week!
