I hope everyone made it through the windy Sunday that we had! This weather has made it difficult to figure out how to dress for school. Please continue to send warm clothes for your child to wear at recess time.

Science Fair - Congratulations to all of the students who successfully completed their science fair projects! The students did a great job presenting them to the class first. I will continue to give opportunities for the students to get up and speak in front of the class. This is an important skill to have.

Reading/Lexia - We are beginning our fantasy genre study in reading. Students will be reading fantasy for their guided reading books. Each student should have at least one additional book that he or she is reading independently.  This independent reading is critical for a student to improve as a reader.
We have entered the Core 5/Lexia contest! Students should be working to reach their weekly goal in Lexia. If your child is not able to complete this in school, it is something that can be done at home! This is an online reading/word study support at your child's level. Some students have tested out of Level 18 and no longer need to complete this.

Wednesday, February 28 - Early release! This Wednesday is an early release day. Students will still eat lunch at school. School is out at 1:29pm.

Read - A - Thon - This begins on Friday, March 1. Please look for information about this on Friday.
