Week of 3/17 Newsletter

Dear 4th & 5th Grade Families,

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Your child’s Winter Report Card was sent home in this week’s Monday Folder. Please sign & return the empty envelope, by Friday, to confirm receipt of the report card. Please email me with any questions or concerns.

We are still scheduled to go on a field trip to the Santa Cruz Landfill, this Wednesday, however, we are short of parent drivers. If you are available to volunteer, please let me know ASAP. If I don’t get enough drivers by Tuesday, we will not be able to go! We are scheduled to leave at 8:30 and return to school by 12:35.

I am really proud of the perseverance demonstrated by every student while they took the MARS Assessment. The mathematical thinking that was required to solve the problems was very deep and the kids did great! It is so exciting to see the students demonstrate their abilities to reason mathematically and problem solve. If you are curious about the practices or assessments, go here.  

This Friday will be Crazy Hair Day! And, next Friday, Student Council will be selling popsicles at dismissal.

Poetry Recital: March 25, during lunch time, Maria will be holding a Poetry Recital. Students who are interested in participating should memorize a poem to recite on March 25. More information to follow.

Mark your calendars for Spring Break March 29-April 6.

Thank you for your support both at home and in class! If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to email me at rhonig@santacruz.k12.ca.us.

Best,

Ms. Honig
