Tuesday 1/28 - Math Interim Assessment
We have a fun activity planned for our Valentines Party where students will get to see baby pictures of their classmates and will try to guess who it is. In order to do this, we need your help by sending in a cute digital baby picture of your child. The picture needs to be school appropriate, so no pictures in diapers :) Pictures between the ages of 6 months-2 years work great. Please email a picture to your child's homeroom teacher by Friday, February 7th. Thank you!
We have finalized details for our 3rd grade field trip and are so excited to share it with you all!

Repeated Information:
We have made it to January, but our headphones have not. We would like to remind you to please send headphones with your child to school. We use our Chromebooks every day, and when students do not have headphones, it not only makes it difficult for them to hear but can also disrupt their classmates. Please make sure these are labeled with your students name.
Please help up by reminding students to charge their Chromebooks each night. It is very important that their Chromebooks come to school fully charged each morning. We use these for classwork daily as well as taking tests. When Chromebooks are not charged, it becomes a disruption to student learning for the day. We appreciate your help with this!
