     We are going into the first week of March and it's hard to believe that the weather has not changed into spring like conditions...hopefully spring will soon be here!  I am working report cards this week and they will be out on Friday March 14th.  
     In Math we are working with measurement this week...also, students are working with addition and subtraction equations so this should be a challenging week in math!  
     In language arts, students are working with words...using the correct words to match to pictures will only increase your child's confidence!  As always please continue to help your child with the Home Reading and their new sight words.

Change of Clothes (Reminder)
We have recently begun the “wet field” season at Haldane elementary. Students are returning from recess/lunch completely soaked.  Please send a complete change of clothes (including socks) to school in a plastic bag with your child’s name on it. It will stay in the classroom for emergencies.

Library Books
Library books/bags must be returned to our class’ yellow bin (just inside our class door) by WEDNESDAY.  If your child is done with his/her books early, please return them at that time.  Let’s work hard to prevent overdue books this year.

Home Reading Bags
Parents can you please ensure that your child's home reading bag is returned everyday.  Also, please take the time to listen to your child read the book...follow the instruction sheet that is with the log sheet (remember to put a star on the Log sheet if your child had no difficulties reading the book).  Thank you for your support.
