Book it!

The first month of Book IT has come to an end.  If your child has successfully read for 20 minutes five times a week and turned in their completed reading log, they received a certificate for a free personal pan pizza from Pizza Hut.  We will continue doing this unit the program ends in March.  If your child meets the requirement each month, they will receive an award at the award ceremony at the end of the year.

Behavior Update

The students' behavior has greatly improved this week.  I am very proud of the students for working hard to demonstrate the behavior that is expected in the classroom and on the playground.  Thank you for discussing this matter with your child.

Christmas Cheer Containers

The Christmas Cheer Containers have arrived.  Any non-perishable food items, and other goods can be donated and placed in the container for the next six weeks.

Grade Cards

Grade Cards were sent home today.  The students are doing very well!  They all have great potential and I am excited to see how much they will continue to grow in knowledge throughout the year.  They amaze me!  If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
