1/27-1/31 Peek at the Week


  When you sell your books, return the money and if you would like more send me a note and I'll request them from PTO!

The first graders will be performing ARF! on March 13 at 9:30 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. We would love to have volunteers work on scenery and other areas.  All students will be asked to wear jeans and a solid white, black, brown, or gray t-shirt.  The production is going to be very cute.  ALL first graders will be dressed as a dog.  Look for more information to come home soon.

I will be sending home a letter about  XtraMath soon.  This is a great program for your child to practice his/her math facts.  Please go online and help your child get started.  It is challenging for the students to recall the facts and click on the correct answer on your keyboard in the time given.  Please sit down with your child and have them call out the answer to you while you click the answer.  You may have to do this a few days until they get used to the program.  Please allow them to make mistakes!  Mistakes are opportunities to learn!!!  I will get a weekly report stating their progress.  Please allow them to practice at least twice a week if not more.
