We had our first Theatre class today. It was a lot of fun getting to know and work with our theatre teacher, Lindsey. This will be a 10-week theatre residency through a special grant with Arts Connection. We are really looking forward to it.
Family conferences are next week, Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday evening! March is busy, busy, busy! I will be sending out an email survey to schedule conferences.
Homework due next Monday:
- Reading
- Writing
- Math handouts: teach your parents the rules for the weekend puzzles + multiplication handout

Camp Ashokan Wed.-Fri.
*Just a reminder that our camping trip is this Wednesday-Friday! There are still a couple of students who are missing forms or parts of forms. Please be sure to check with your child and send them in if needed.
*I will be at my American History grant professional development workshop tomorrow, but I will be there for camp Wednesday morning.
A few reminders we discussed as a class today:
- Any medicine, including vitamins and cough drops, must be accompanied by the original prescription or Dr. note (i.e.- do not take pills out of the bottle, they must be in their original container with the prescription info)
- Bring a light non-messy snack for the bus rides- only water to drink. Snack should be put in a zip lock baggie with the student's name written on the outside. We will collect leftover snacks once we arrive at Ashokan and then return to kids for the bus ride home. Kids may not have any food or candy with them at camp.
- If you get "car sick" be sure to bring plastic baggies, kleenex/paper towels, and hand sanitizer. Mints are also soothing.
- No electronics!
- Rated "G" or "PG" movies are okay to bring for the bus ride. Be sure to label your movie if you bring any.
- If you are bringing a camera please write your name on it- you can use masking tape or a label.
- Extra socks are always a good idea :)
I will see you Wednesday morning!

HUGE THANK YOU!
Thank you to all of those who volunteered and helped out for Community Day. The room looks amazing and feels great! It means a lot that so many people showed up and pitched in. It was huge. Special thanks to Ondine (and Dylan) and Ayo (and Ayanna) for organizing, along with Harriet, Jesse and Georgia, Sara, and Michael! I feel so lucky to have such great families :)
