THE

BECKER BULLETINGarden DayHelp to keep Healthy Learning Academy

looking beautiful!We will be conducting our biannual Garden Day next Saturday, March 17th from 8:00-12:00. You can visit signupgenius.com through our school’s website to volunteer two hours of your time (8:00-10:00 or 10:00-12:00).

Any help that you can provide, whether it’s working in the garden, weeding, pressure washing, etc., would be greatly appreciated. And, let’s face it…after a few Shamrock Shakes at McDonalds (between 82 and 115 grams of sugar EACH), a little fresh air and exercise would do wonders! Please join us and help to keep our school beautiful.

The Week In Review Miscellaneous

SS: Students are still learning about colonial life.ELA: This week, we focused on cause and effect, subject and object pronouns, and our prefixes, “sym-” and “syn-.” We also completed the FSA ELA Writing exam!Math: We just took the Ch. 8 test on fractions and decimals. Next up? Adding and subtracting fractions!Science: We just started our chapter on matter. It’s a short unit, so we’ll be testing soon!

Word of the Week:Our word of the week was “effort.” In my opinion, effort is the most important value that we have studied this year. Often in life, what separates us from our peers, and what makes us successful, is the amount of effort that we put forth. Someone who goes above and beyond what is required is showing effort.

Science FairWith students submitting bibliographies today, all steps of the Science Fair project have now been completed. To finalize the project, students just need to present their information neatly on a large tri-fold board. Everything is due next Friday, March 16th. Students will present their projects at Parent Involvement Night on Thursday, March 22nd.

Positive BehaviorStudents can earn extra recess every two weeks by demonstrating appropriate classroom behavior. If your child has not been chosen, encourage them to make good choices daily!

For Monday, students should neatly write and mark each of the following words with large, legible print on the index cards sent home today.
