Weekly Update

Looking Ahead:

The children came back focused and ready to learn! They have grown in so many ways since August. I am extremely proud of them and cannot wait to see even more growth!

Ms. Latham will be teaching the children how to use a recorder this year. A hard copy of the letter and an e-mail went home last week. Please read, fill out the form, and return no later than Friday, January 22nd.

This week, we will be taking benchmark tests since we wrapped up Unit 2 for Reading/Language Arts last week. As a result, there will not be a Reading/Language Arts or Spelling Test this week. We will begin Unit 3, Lesson 11 this week, and we will finish it next week. This works out well since next week is only a 4-day school week.

We have a minimum day this Friday and no school on Monday, January 18th, in honor of Martin Luther King Jr.

Please keep your eye out for an e-mail from Megan Prieto regarding our Gala Tablescape.
