No school this Friday.

Mark your calendars.  Also tomorrow will be an all day write using a narrative prompt.  These days really help prepare the students for the stamina required during state testing to do the entire writing process in one day.  Students who are absent will need to make this day up.  Due to the short week and [...]

We are so very proud of them!  They got to spread a great message, and learn that they can overcome fear of performing in front of lots of people.  They also got practice in memorizing a part.  They were amazing.  Most of them want to do it again….so that is always a good sign!  We [...]

We are very proud of everyone! Most students aced their multiplication test yesterday.  The measurement conversion test was harder, and we’ve learned that many students still need more practice with this.  We will continue to review this concept.  Today we will take our weekly homework test.
In reading we finished our novels that we have been working [...]

Just a reminder that next Thursday will be our program!  Donations of lemon lime pop and/or cookies can come to school any time.  It actually helps to have them before that night.  (However, we will still accept them at that time).  All left overs will be used the next day for our ‘cast party’.
