Week of February 27

Hello Parents,
This week is a short week. Wednesday is Dr. Seuss Character Dress-up Day where
students are encouraged to dress as one of Dr. Seuss characters or color based on one
of his books themes. Also, our class will have the Chapter 9 Math Test on Wednesday. In
our 3 days of study this week we will be continuing our Readers/Writers Workshop on
Fantasy. We will be having Field Day on Thursday and release time will be 12. Please
come prepared with: running/athletic shoes, water bottles, hats, sunscreen, and healthy
snacks. The students team colors will be sent out Monday.

Sincerely,
Brian Hunt
