Dear Parents,

        Happy spring? The temperatures are starting to warm and tease us that spring should be right around the corner. The children raised more than $250 to support our students in Uganda!  Thanks for your hard work, everyone.

        The second graders are becoming more and more comfortable with subtracting and regrouping.  Please keep practicing those subtraction math facts at home.  Have you used those flash cards yet?  This week we are moving on to the minus 9 facts and those flash cards will come home soon. Thanks for reminding your child to complete his/her homework each night and to return it each day.

        We are moving on to learning the upper case letters in cursive.  Many of the children are becoming more and more comfortable with this new way of writing. Practicing the new letters at home would be a great idea.

       This week we are hoping to finish up our solids, liquids and gases unit.  After spring break, we will work on some social studies activities before our last unit of science.

If you would like to order any books from the book order, please do so by  tomorrow.  I will submit the order that afternoon.  I am happy to hold any book orders for gifts.  Just let me know. 

       The new Terrific Tuesday class information will be emailed to you today.  The last six week session will begin on Tuesday, March 26^th. 

       The third quarter report cards will be coming home this Friday.  Please feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns.  Mrs. Klug and I would be happy to set up a time to meet with you if you wish.  Just give us a few dates and times that would work for you and we will schedule a time. 

        Spring break begins at the end of this week.  (Just in case you had forgotten.J).My plans include visiting a dear friend in Florida with my St. Louis daughter and her family. In the middle of the week, I will fly to Lexington, Kentucky to visit with the twin 5 year old grandchildren and their parents. So, lots of Grammy time for me!  I hope you will be able to enjoy your change in schedule for the week.  Enjoy your children!  They are such a special gift from God to you. 

Have a wonderful week!  God-willing, we will be back together on the 25^th of March.                                                                                                       

Yours in Christ,

Janet Leet
