Tucson Botanical Gardens Field Trip

I am planning our first field trip of the year to the Tucson Botanical Gardens on April 23rd. We would be leaving in the morning and returning mid afternoon before school lets out for the day. The cost for each student is $3.00 dollars which I need to collect ASAP. I also will be needing some parent volunteers to go along with me and help supervise our class throughout the exhibits. The cost for adults is $7.00 dollars. If you can volunteer please see Ms. Irma at the front desk to fill out the paperwork and be fingerprinted for volunteering. She does this on Monday's and Thursday's. I would also like to take sack lunches to cut down on extra trips and issues. We could eat lunch at the gardens. If you have questions please contact me at my email address jparker@lpatucson.org.

LPA Golf Tournament

On March 20th La Paloma Academy will be sponsoring a golf tournament at Forty-Niner Country Club. If you are interested in putting in a team there is still time. The cost is 380.00 for a team of four. Last year I played and had a great time. There will also be give aways and free lunch as part of your team fee. Register soon because time is running out.

This is just a friendly reminder that reports cards will go out on Thursday as students leave for break. If you have any questions or would like to schedule a conference for the fourth quarter please send me an email at jparker@lpatucson.org and I will do my best to make any necessary arrangements to meet with you. We have already begun grades for the fourth quarter so know is the time to address any issues. Thank you.

As you probably already know Spring Break is approaching fast. It begins this Thursday afternoon and ends Monday March 15th. School will be closed on these days and we will return bright and early Tuesday morning next week. I hope you enjoy your break and have fun with your families.

NO QUIZ THIS WEEK IN WORDSTUDY

THIS WEEK IS A SHORT WEEK SO I WILL BE REVIEWING SOME OF THE WORDS FROM PREVIOUS WEEEKS. THERE WILL BE NO QUIZ THIS WEEK SINCE WE ARE OUT FOR RODEO BREAK THIS THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. WE WILL HOWEVER, BE WORKING WITH PREVIOUS WEEKS WORDS UTILIZING VARIOUS REVIEW ACTIVITIES DURING OUR WORDSTUDY TIME.

Is anyone out there?

I am just curious as to how many are going to my blog and following along with the postings. If you are please become a follower so I can keep you updated. Thank you.

Multiplication Quizes

I will be giving multiplication fact quizes every Friday during our math time to help reinforce memorization of the multiplacation facts. Tomorrows quiz will be on the seven's facts. Useing flash cards works, well for practice as well as having them write them out on index cards. Each week will be a different set so feel free if they have mastered the currents weeks facts, to move on to a harder set. Thank you.
