If you haven't heard already, the class has earned all of their marbles again! I am incredibly impressed with their stellar behavior! They have chosen to watch a movie and have popcorn as their reward. They also got a bonus--they set a goal to earn all of the marbles by May 1, and if they did, they would get to add bringing a stuffed animal, blanket, and pillow on that day for the movie. Since they earned it before May 1, they get that fun bonus prize!
The kids also voted on the movie. We will be watching The LEGO Movie on Thursday, May 4. They may bring a stuffed animal, blanket, and pillow on that day. (NOTE: Since this is just an afternoon of fun, not a whole day, please make sure the items can all fit in their backpacks--small and compact.) The movie will be in the afternoon (after lunch), so the morning will be a regular day.
If you would not like your child to watch the movie, please let me know and I will have an alternate activity ready for your child, or you are welcome to pick them up for the afternoon. A Christian review of the movie can be found here.

Read In
We have an exciting day coming up! On Friday, March 31 we will be having a read in. That day will consist mainly of reading activities. The kids can bring a blanket, pillow, and stuffed animal that day if they would like to. In 2nd grade, we will be playing a literature Jeopardy game, building forts to read in, and having a picnic lunch on our blankets. We will also be listening to Mr. Haan read a book about feelings. We will also be reading a picture book of Inside Out this week, and we will be watching the movie Friday afternoon. If you would like to read a Christian review of the movie, click here.
We are looking forward to ending this week on a high note, getting us ready for spring break!

Becoming Published Writers:
The kids have been working hard and we are ready to send our book in for publishing! Our actual publishing date is March 31, so we won't be receiving the book until sometime after spring break, but it feels good to have it done! The kids did a wonderful job, and we were even able to include a page from Mr. Haan.
Read-In:
We will be having a read-in on Friday, March 31. This day will be filled with fun reading-themed activities, culminating in watching a movie at the end of the day. Look for more information to come soon!
Sip, Savor, and Support:
Going along with the book theme for today, I wanted to put one final plug out for our Sip, Savor, and Support event this Saturday, March 25. More information can be found here. We hope you're able to make it!
