Other tid-bits:

• Progress reports will be sent home on Friday!
• Don't forget to order your yearbook...deadline is March 4th.
• Friendly reminder - on the math homework pages, please remembers that #5 and 6 are always challenge questions. Many times they are extremely difficult and have very little connection to the lesson we are working on in the classroom. These are "bonus" questions and it is completely acceptable to skip them if your child is confused...or if you are confused! :o)
• Rockin' Ram Reader deadline is March 25th...the goal this quarter is 10 points!
