* Many students are in need of more pencils and notebooks. Please check with your son or daughter to see what supplies they may need. J

* PROJECT WINGS: We had an excellent presentation from Claudia Tremelling and Idaho Power on birds of prey today. Please ask your child to tell you what he/she learned from the presentation.

* WE ARE THE UPPER GRADE WINNERS OF THE PENNY WARS!!!! Thank you for supporting the Idaho Food Bank. Our class has earned either a pizza party or a Kiwi Loco party. Way to go Room 5 Falcons!!

* Spring Break is March 24^th - March 28^th.

* Report cards are now viewable on Infinite Campus Parent Portal. THANK YOU for using Infinite Campus.

* MATH HOMEWORK: I am sending home another elapsed time worksheet. Please help your child with this assignment. We have been solving these types of problems by plotting the starting and ending times on a line and “hopping” ahead by hours then the minutes to reach our end times. This helps the students to visualize the time passing.
