I sent home corrected work today, so please check in with your child regarding this. I haven't finished evaluating the short stories but hope to have this completed by the end of the week. As this is the final week of the second trimester, it is important that everyone turns in any missing work as soon as possible. I will be reviewing my grade book today and will (after speaking with the students) send home missing work notices tomorrow.

I have scheduled our Elementary Law court date for Tuesday, March 27. We will be working with a local attorney, Robert Wall, who is very excited to be leading us through the justice process. Both grades will participate in our "cookie court" play at the Watsonville Courthouse. Everyone is invited to come watch. It's very educational and a lot of fun!

***Sixth grade parents, please sign permission slip for your child to watch The Mighty this week.

Hope to see you tonight at the Book Club meeting.

The 5th grade Valentine's Day Breakfast was a great success. Thanks so much to everyone who worked hard to make this event possible.

Mrs. Mitchener, our math specialist, talked to everyone today about the annual county math contest which will take place on Saturday, May 5th. She brought information sheets, but as I had so many interested students, I could only send them home with my 5th graders today. I'll hand out copies to my 6th graders tomorrow. I'm very pleased with their enthusiastic response!

A reminder: Our Family Book Club night is tomorrow at 6:30 in the MPR. Please join us for a discussion of The Indian in the Cupboard. Hope to see you there!
