March is going to be a very busy month for us, and I can't believe how quickly many important events are approaching! In a week and a half, the week of March 4, we begin TerraNova testing. Please make sure that students arrive at school well-rested and have eaten a healthy breakfast. They should also bring with them two #2 pencils (if they don't already have plenty at school) and a small healthy snack (such as fruit or a granola bar).

Perhaps more excitingly, our 3rd and 4th grade musical is only a month away! We will be performing Mr. Bell's Magnificent Ringing Machine for friends and family the evening of March 19. We had our first rehearsal today. Please help your child to practice their lines and songs. As I'm sure you can imagine, putting on the play takes a lot of work with the costumes and scenery, and we'll be asking for your help with this soon.

We have started the season of Lent and created a calendar full of ways to fast, pray, and give. Each day has something special on it, and I encourage the students to try to follow the calendar to help prepare themselves for Jesus' death and Resurrection.

There are several tests coming up. On Thursday, the students have a test in social studies on the Southeast. Next week, on Wednesday they will be tested in religion on the Old Testament figures we have learned about (Noah, Abraham, Joseph, Moses, and David), and on Friday they have a test in science on electricity and magnetism.

We had a great time at Catholic Schools Week last week! Above, you can see pictures of different activities we did, from DEAR time on pajama day to buddy projects about Martin Luther King, Jr. There are also pictures of students making a density column and their Whipping Boy projects.

The students have an English test this Friday on verbs. Below, you can see the videos they created to teach the different lessons they need to know on this subject.
