Week 29, March 14 - 18

ST. PATRICK’S DAY
Students are invited to wear green on Thursday for St. Patrick’s Day. Let your child show school spirit and wear some green!

OPEN HOUSE
This Thursday from 5:30 – 6:30 you are invited to the classroom for open house. You can check your childs AR and SuccessMaker schores and you can sign up for Home Connect. I sent home another letter about Renaissance Home Connect (the same letter that was sent out in September). This program will allow you to check out information about Accelerated Reader (AR) and the scores your student is receiving on the tests. Also, on the same website your student can practice his/her addition facts. If you were unable to get this account set-up I will help you send it up during Open House on Thursday!

DON’T RUN WITH SCISSORS 5K
Sallas Mahone’s annual 5k will be March 19. There is a 5k or a one mile walk. Please return the form no later than Friday. I would love to see ALL my students at this fun event. All proceeds go to Sallas Mahone’s Art room.

BOOK FAIR
It’s book fair time! Next week March 14-18, Sallas Mahone will have its spring book fair. We will be attending the book fair as a class on Thursday if you would like to send money that day. A portion of the proceeds go to Sallas Mahone media center. So, support Sallas Mahone a purchase books from the book fair.
