Week of March 3-7, 2008

Hello,

Thank you parents for the good food and help at last Friday's Pot Luck lunch. A great time was had by all!!

This week in Room 10:
1. On Thursday, local attorney, Sara Clarenback will visit the class. During this introductory session, she will go over all the details for our court visit/trial play which is scheduled for next Tuesday, March 11. Please let me know if you can drive or contact Mrs. Bird who is organizing the drivers. We will leave school at 10:45 and return for regular dismissal.

2. Please read and complete the Consent for the California Healthy Kids Survery. It is important that I have a completed form for each student. There is a place to check if you do not give permission.

3. The research paper is due on Thursday, March 6. Oral presentations will be next week. Students will get the details and a date by the end of this week.

4. The trimester ends this Friday and report cards go home on the 14th.

5. I gave everyone an AR POINT update last week and they will have their final number for the trimester on Friday. Many students made a great increase. I'm looking for that improvement!
