                        To pick up a book and read to a child."

We have also worked hard in class in all subjects; but today we spent extra time during silent reading to do just that...read, read, read!We also participated in the Read Across America Jeopardy Game!

                      Here's What's Been Going On
                      In the Beacons' World:
Writers' Workshop continues with our action stories for the hard backed books. Many of the students have finished writing their stories and are peer conferencing, editing, or teacher conferencing. We will be publishing these books on the computer in the next few weeks and will have a publisher's picnic once we get them finished.
Reading: Students are busily working on their respective reading books. They are all improving on their higher level thinking skills of writing summaries of their chapters.
Math: Students in both the Math Magicians and Math Magicals are wrapping up their chapters and will have a test on their chapters next week.
Science:
      The Beacons are on their way to completing the Science Fair projects. All Science Fair projects are due on Monday, March 7th. Please help your Beacon remember to bring it in on time!

Social Studies: Students have selected their Colonial "persona" and are researching their respective crafts. It will be an exciting presentation on March 25th in the afternoon 1:30-2:50. We hope to see you there. More information will be going home in this week's Friday Folder.
