Just a reminder that book-it calendars did go home. The goal is 5 hours for the month. Please fill in the calendar and initial as your child reads. Once your child has hit 5 hours, you can send in the calendar for a personal pan pizza coupon.

Raz-Kids and SumDog

If you didn't catch it, I sent home information yesterday regarding websites that I have our class signed up for. Raz-kids is a website that will help with reading comprehension and fluency, and Sumdog is a website that will help with math.

The login for both of these websites is the exact same. This is so the children aren't having to memorize a bunch of different logins.

I had a few children come to me to say that they didn't have a computer or internet. I told them to keep their information in case they ever go to a relative's house that they can use a computer at. We also we be exploring these websites at school too, so your children will not be missing out by not doing these at home!

Thank you!!

Thank you to the chaperones who attended our field trip to Buckley Homestead:
Mrs. Wheeler, Mrs. Ware, Mrs. Revolt, Mrs. Trivette, and Mrs. Clemens.

If you were not selected to attend, remember that we can have unlimited parents to help with our parties, and we also have another field trip coming up in the spring. Make sure that your background check is current if you would like to help out with anything.
