New Box Top Competition Lurking . . .

PLEASE GET THOSE BOX TOPS IN . . . Or at least begin collecting them again! This is possibly the easiest donation any one parent/family can make to the school and your child's classroom this year and years to come!!!

1) We are 97% of the way to our goal of $6000 this year, and we should blow by that after the spring contest!

2) As of today, Reagan's Box Tops ranking is 2nd in the Central Indy area (to a Plainfield school - we are 1st in Bburg) and 12th in the state!! We really want to be 1st in our area and top 10 in the state, so let's work hard during the last contest!!

3) The last contest will begin after spring break, more details to follow.

4) Bonus Box Tops are again available at Meijer - Buy ANY 10 Box Tops items and get a Bonus 60.  This will definitely help us meet our goal!

MVP Reader #7

**Our MVP reader this week is Eddie Finn! Eddie read and passed the most quizzes for the group since last Wednesday. Great job to all readers, however, as we reached our Reading Counts points’ goal—our class has read over 1,800 Reading Counts Quiz points this school year, and over half of the points were earned in February and March alone!!! We will be celebrating “the regular season” with Mr. Johnson tomorrow afternoon. We will be announcing an exciting new challenge for the “playoffs” just as March Madness gets rolling!

Terrific Thursday 3/21

*I have to tell you all that I am super excited to receive the IREAD test results from the beginning of this week! (We will know sooner rather than later). The kids have worked so diligently for the entire year, and most especially the last five weeks that we’ve been preparing for these assessments! Give your child a high five, a hug, and celebrate with some extra family time over the next two weeks! You all deserve the time to relax together! We will kick things into gear again when we return April 8!

 ***Tomorrow is our PSG Box Top Pajama Day! Since our class turned in more than 400 Box Tops in January and February, we earned a PJ Day at school. Please keep in mind our school’s dress code (appropriate jammies) and that each child MUST come to school in regular shoes. Each child MAY bring slippers, but they will only be worn when inside the building.

 ****We have our Unit 9 Math test tomorrow. Study Guides came home last night, and they will return home again tonight. They should be complete as of 3:40 today, but I encourage you to talk with your child about the skills/types of problems, as these mimic the test items they will see tomorrow.

  

 

MVP Reader Weel #6

Our sixth week of Reading Counts were successful yet again!!!! We are currently at 1,796 points toward our goal of 1,800 points by May!!! I'm just guessing, but I think we'll get there . . . :)

Ben Coomer received our “TOP DOG” or MVP reading points reward this week! Ben will enjoy lunch with a few friends and Mrs. Hill! ***Remember, for each 10 points earned as of January 25, a new Mr. Sketch marker is received!!! There will be a different winner each week, so keep racking up those points with reading books and passing quizzes at school on the computer!!!

Fantastic Friday 3/15

Amazing job last night at the choir program boys and girls! We had 100% of our class there last night, shining brightly in those gorgeous, creative shirts!

There will be NO reading log for the week of March 18-22.  However, I always encourage your child to read—this is a great week to just read for pure enjoyment! In fact, if a note/email/voicemail is received that your child read the previous day, he/she may clip up for each day!
 

There will also be NO IREAD packets the remainder of the year. We will be testing over Unit 9 in math next Friday, so please notify me if you’re planning to NOT have your child attend school next Friday morning. We will review Tuesday through Thursday of next week for the Unit 9 test.

IREAD testing is Monday. Please be sure to provide your child with a good night’s rest, a healthy breakfast, and a boost of confidence this weekend!  We could really use some healthy snacks for Monday’s testing . .

We are just 4 small points away from reaching our 1,800 Reading Counts points since August! We doubled our points after Mr. Johnson put us up to the reading challenge at the end of January! We’re set and ready to earn that pizza party . . .!!!!

 

Class Update 3/7

The final IREAD packets will go home tomorrow, Friday, March 8. Please encourage your child to work on these packets diligently! IREAD is a VERY important assessment for 3^rd graders! IREAD packets are due Friday, March 15.

Reading Logs will resume this weekend and next week, too. Remember, the requirement is 120 minutes or 2 hours of reading from Friday to Thursday of each week. It’s also required that each student completes the reading log and has a parent/guardian signature. Reading Logs are due each Friday.

Please see the blog and/or the attached document for a Penny War competition to support Komen Breast Cancer Research next week at Reagan!

 

THURSDAY, MARCH 14 @ 7:30 Reminder!!!! It’s our third grade spring musical night at Reagan! Please arrive by 7:15 wearing your decorated shirt, colorful shirts!
