For the Week of March 17th

Chess Club

Both clubs will be held this week. If you would like to help in Wednesday's club - please let me know. I would enjoy having you.

No School

There will be no school Monday, March 17th due to parent/teacher conferences. There will be no school Tuesday, March 18th due to teacher inservice.

Listening

Many of us take listening for granted. But listening carefully to someone and understanding what they are saying is an important life skill. One fun way to help improve listening, and memory skills is to play "Johnny has an apple in his pocket." To play, the first person says something that Johnny has in his pocket that starts with the letter A. Then the next person must name the A item and also add a B item. Each person continues to add another item in alphabetical order. The sillier the items that he has in his pocket, the better. See if those playing can get through the whole alphabet without making a mistake.
