Students did well on their science test today. The letter score will on the neon sheet in their agenda pads.
Just a reminder, we will be having a math test nextFriday. The study guide went home yesterday on green paper.
A pink piece of paper in your students red folder will give you information and directions on how to use Moby Max at home, which is the platform we use for mastering math facts. Please check it out!
Lastly, FIELD TRIP PERMISSION SLIPS are on yellow (ish) paper coming home today. Please rettturn as soon as you can, especially if you want to chaperone. The lottery for chaperones will beheld on Wednesday. Because many parents want to volunteer, for each trip I will pick blindly out of a hat. Any parent can always attend, just not ride the bus with the class. The cost per student is 10.00, and they will need to bring a bag lunch on the day of the 31st.

Your child has had their first guided reading group!Some students will work in guided reading groups daily, while others a few times a week. Each student has a colored folder within a clear gallon bag, which has some good comprehension questions to ask at home while reading! This bag and folder is to go back and forth from school daily, so students can read books at home with families and friends.
Please take a look inside tonight!
Have a fun and safe weekend!
