Notes:
  • Wednesday in the computer lab, the students will explore Education City - an online resource that has activities for math, language arts and science.  They are able to pick the grade level that feels most comfortable to them in order to practice the skills they are learning.  Their passwords will be glued into the front of their agendas will be a username and password if you would like to use this program at home.  It is optional, but it's lots of fun and a great way to reinforce learning.
  • Last week we had a prize day for Big Rocks.  Students were given one ticket for every completed assignment they had on the list with 30 as the total number they could receive.  Tickets were then used in a draw for a "mystery bag" that contained a prize.  Some students walked away with 2 or 3 bags!  Ask your child how many tickets they received for the draw. 

This Week's Schedule:
Monday:
  • Friday Letters due
  • Camera permission forms due

Tuesday:
  • Tone It Up Tuesday
  • Library day!

Wednesday:

Friday:
  • Fake Injury Day - it has been decided that dress up days will no longer take place on the same days as Energy Day Assemblies so that it's only a half day for students to dress up.  For Fake Injury Day, students are encouraged to be creative in coming up with a fake injury but are asked not to use fake blood.
  • Frolicking Friday
