***I am so sorry that I neglected to send the newsletter home today. Here is a copy of it with the spelling words. The paper copy will come home in the student folders tomorrow. I was in such a hurry trying to make sure the progress reports went home today that I just did not see the stack of newsletters until the children were gone.
Mrs. Bauer’s Newsletter
Joseph Martin Elementary 1st Grade February 25, 2013
· Please remember to send in your child’s science fair topic and title if you have not already.
· If your child was chosen for the county competition for the media festival, please complete the paperwork packet and return it to me by Thursday.
· Please read with your child every night and encourage him or her to take AR tests on their library books.
· We are testing measurement and time in math this week. We will be doing a lot of adding and subtracting next.
· Sometimes the yucky weather makes the children feel like not doing their best. Please encourage your child to give 100% this week.
Be sure to visit our blog: Bauerjme.blogspot.com. I will be putting up pictures from Valentines and of our animal projects this week.
