Take a minute and reflect on your schedule. How much time do your students actually get once they get a chance to read and write? The only way they become stronger readers and writers is to spend time reading and writing! Keep the main thing, the main thing! Make the adjustments and reap the benefits! 📚 You still have time! 

March is a busy month. We have a faculty meeting on Thursday, and it is going to be packed full of lots of information and learning. Please make sure you are there!

We are currently running low on paper. This time last year, we still had about 40 boxes, and currently we only have 2 cases left. We are hoping to order more to make it until the end of the year, but PLEASE be mindful of what you are printing and how much paper it is using. If it can be sent digitally, please do so. 

Special shoutout to 5th grade for using the March Maddness theme to incentivize and utilize IXL! Go by the 5th grade hall to see their display. 🏀 We will be running the IXL analytics report in late April to see how it is being used. We will not be able to pay for it with Title I money next year and it is very expensive. I have asked PTO to consider helping us fund it, but want to ensure it is being used appropriately across the building.  

I know how hard you are working and see how fast you are running! Thank you! As always, reach out if you need me!
