Peek at Our Week

2-27-2026

 

Thank you to all the parents who visited with me during conferences. It's been so fun getting to know all of you over the past two years! : )
 
We've had lots of fun lately with Mystery Readers, Dress Up Days, and learning so many cool things! All students are researching an animal and finding out facts about it. We are now in the process of taking all those facts and doing a writing project on Book Creator. I should be able to send you a link to your child's book as soon as we are done with the projects. We also finished our units about habitats and learning about the winter olympics. We even learned some about the paralympics which are going to be in March! Go USA!
 
Reading Olympics! Your child's reading minutes are due on Monday, March 2nd. Will your child get an olympic medal?
