Anyway, these corrected papers were sent home on Friday and Monday.
~ The 'Bats' comprehension test which included the REGS practice question on the back
~ Unit 8 Math Test
~ Unit 9 Math Pretest
~ Unit 11 Spelling Test
~ Keynote Project results.
~ Study Island Practice Results
~ Accelerated Reading point totals.
These items were sent home on Monday and need to be completed and signed by a parent. They are due on April 3rd.

We are asking that each student bring in a plastic bottle for our Walk For Life service project. The plastic bottle can be of any size and shape, as long as it has an opening that is as big as a quarter.
Thanks and enjoy the... snow?

Dear Families,
Pleasantview Elementary could really use your help. During the month of April all classes will be collecting coins for the WALK FOR LIFE celebration held at Pleasantview on Friday, May 1, 2009. Walk for Life also know as Relay for Life is an event sponsored by the American Cancer Society. It offers everyone in the community an opportunity to participate in the fight against cancer. The purpose is to celebrate the lives of those who have battled cancer, and to also remember loved ones that we have lost.
Your help is needed in helping bring in clean empty water bottles for students to collect the coins in. Gatorade or Life Water bottles work great, or any bottle with a large enough lid to slip coins through.
Thank you so much for your help in this. Relay for Life represents the hope that those lost to cancer will never be forgotten, that those who face cancer will be supported, and that one day cancer will be eliminated.
Sincerely,
PV Staff

AR Goal For The Third Trimester
Each student was assigned the task of writing the title and AR point value for the next five books they would like to read for their Third Trimester AR goal. The students wrote these titles in their agenda and you may want to look over your child's book choices. The goal for the Third Trimester is eleven AR points at an 80% or better accuracy level.

Just a reminder that the fourth and fifth graders have the option to go skating at SCSU or watch the movie Madagascar 2 for the AR party. Here's the info you need to know:
Skating: The busses will load at 8:00... kids will skate on the main rink from 8:30-9:30. Please remind students to bring their own skates because the Nat'l Hockey Center does not have many to rent (if students rent skates the cost is $2).
Movie: The movie will start at 8:00 in the cafeteria. It is 1 hour and 29 minutes long.
Students need to have earned enough points to attend.

Reading Contracts Are Due On Thursday, March 5th.
A copy of the February - March 5th contract is archived under February on the blog.
Early Dismissal News From Feb. 26th! Ahh, Winter!
It is nearing 3:00, and our buses are still delivering children home. They appear to be running, at the end of our routes, about 20 minutes behind. Of course, the weather gods messed with all of us yet again. At about 9:30 this morning when the decision was made by the area districts to release students early, the forecasters were predicting 4 to 8 inches of snow and high winds during the afternoon hours. Nearly every district in the area - and most across the southern two thirds of the state - had an early release. By early afternoon, after our buses were already on the road, the snow totals and the wind speeds were downgraded. Still, it was a slippery ride home for everyone, and the extra time and daylight probably didn't hurt.
I've been involved in making weather related decisions for twenty years now. It is not the best part of my job but it does occasionally provide a light moment. Just a few years back, you may remember, WCCO's (then new) automated television announcement system had a glitch in it. This mistake set off a flurry of phone calls here at my expense, but I've had more than a bit of good fun with it over the passing years. Some of you may not have seen the announcement made that day. Flashed across the television screens for most of the state to see was the following message:
Based on the fun I've had today, this may in fact be the case (for me at least) Friday morning!
Thanks to all of you who calmly handled the heightened emotions that always emerge when the winter weather disrupts lives and schedules. I appreciate your extra efforts to keep kids safe on these challenging days. Stay well. Greg
PS. And, keep thinking spring!
