Being Prepared Each Day

I am noticing a large number of students are forgetting their Take Home Folder, Planner (agenda) and "Just Right Book" at home very frequently. Please take a minute to make sure your child has returned all their materials, including homework, to their backpack. Doing this the night before helps to prevent chaotic mornings! 

Also, please empty your child's take home folder each night. They should only return to school with their homework, any notes for the teacher and/or lunch money. Please keep their work at least until the quarter ends! Remember, homework makes a great studying tool!

The follow by e-mail function on this blog is not working. I know some of you have tried to enter your e-mail and have been told you are not authorized to do this. We are looking in to this as other blogs in the district are having this problem.

Wonder Wednesday

Students spent time during reading today on Wonderopolis exploring and reading about wonders of the day. Some of our favorite wonders were...

  • Why can't dogs eat chocolate? 
  • Why are bowling shoes so slippery?
  • Why is the sky blue?
  • Why is the ocean blue when the water is clear?
