Welcome February. Week 21
Posted in Classroom, Conferences, Home Projects, Shared School | No Comments »This coming week is busy! We have the International Festival Wednesday and Thursday. Lower El’s presentations are on Thursday. It is all morning, starting at 9am. Please have their festival projects in on Wednesday so we can set up the classroom! You are welcome to attend the festival on both days if you wish.
Parent teacher conferences are also this week! Starting Wednesday and ending Friday. Please sign up if you haven’t.
Monday begins Come observe our classroom month! Each parent gets a half hour to view what work cycle is like.
Both sign ups are to the right of this blog!
3rd grade parents! I got someone from Academica West to come out and help set up our 3rd graders SAGE accounts. I’ve been working on it for sometime with them and your child’s name was not being linked to me. Everything should be fixed by this week and I will start them on practice tests. It is imperative that they practice at home as well! There will be 3 sections: a writing sections with 2 small essays (informative and opinion), a language arts section, and a math section.
Pizza Friday is BACK! Each slice is $1.75. Money must be in by WEDNESDAY! No exceptions. Money this year must be in check form. NO CASH PLEASE! You may also pay up to only 4 weeks in advance. All these reasons helps keep things orderly and counting quicker. Pizza Friday begins this week, I believe!
