Welcome to the merry month of March! After so much cold weather, I know we are all looking forward to March 21st, the first official day of spring! The school year is going by very quickly and we now have 52 school days left this year. In that short time, we have a lot to accomplish and need our students to stay motivated and ready to learn.
Important Reminders
- Learnathon - Thank you for sending in donations, this money will help the Mountain View Founadation keep our fulltime technology teacher!
- Children can bring in donations daily, the tireless learnathon volunteers collect these every morning and the children can collect prizes in the cafeteria daily. They keep a record of the donations and prizes so the children don’t have to bring anything with them. Michael Green The Science Machine…Weather permitting…will be in for 3rd thru 5th on Wednesday, March 3rd . Students that donate $100 are entered to win either a Nintendo DSI or an iPod shuffle.
On Friday, March 12th, we will be holding the grade level Learnathons in the gym. All students will get to participate. 3rd grade will meet at 1:10 - 2:05, 4th grade will meet from 10:10 - 11:05, and 5th grade will meetat 12:10 - 1:05.

I hope everyone is logging on to the CRCT testing website and taking grade-level practice tests. CRCT testing will take place April 14th to April 23rd. I do not assign specific tests to my students but you they may practice on any of their particular grade level teachers' tests. In addition, the site has practice tests they can take. I sent home 2nd copies of the website and log-in information. If you still need it, please let me know, and I will send it home again.
Please also reinforce telephone numbers (home and cell phones), addresses, and other important information with your child. Please use any opportunity you have to help your child memorize this info. We did a skill check on this and only 2 out of 7 children knew parent cellphone numbers, home phone numbers,addresses, 911 emergency, and parents full names.
Once again, I would like to thank you all for helping your children be successful at school. I have a great set of parents and I appreciate all of you!
