Week of March 12th

Hi Everyone,

     Don't forget that we have a field trip on Thursday to St. Augustine. We are planning to leave the school at 9:00 and return by 2:00. We are asking that students wear their class shirts and comfortable walking shoes. Students may also want to wear a long sleeve shirt under their JBE shirts and bring a jacket. It will be very cool during the morning. Students will also 

     If you are a chaperoning for the trip, you will need to drive. You can follow the buses or meet us at the visitor center/parking garage. Our classes will board the Trolley Tour first. During the tour we will look at different sites around the city. We will be dropped off at the Castillo de san Marcos. While at the fort we will have a guided tour of the fort. After our tour we will walk back to the visitor center and eat lunch. 

     Thank you to everyone that participated in our fundraising efforts for the Super Hero Sprint. As of today our class has raised $1,760!! We are only $40 away from our class goal of $1,800. PTA will be accepting donations until Friday. So it is not too late to get involved. Please help us reach our goal.

     This week in math we will learn how to use a protractor. Students are receiving a paper protractor from me to use to complete any homework that requires a protractor. If you choose to buy a protractor for your child, consider buying a clear one. They are much easier to read than the colored ones.We will also learn about perpendicular and parallel lines. 

     This week in science we will begin learning about ecosystems.We will learn about they ways climate affects ecosystems here in Florida.

    Our social studies this week will focus on St. Augustine. Please click on the links below to learn more about the fort.
