Report Card Pick-up Next Week

Hello!  This week is the final week of third quarter.  If students have any corrections or make-up work, they should be turned in by Tuesday. 

Papers should be sent home this week so you can request your time for report card pick-up on Wednesday, April 6th.  If you would like to ask for a specific time (rather than a block of time), please write that down on the slip.  If the time is still available, it's all yours!  The late appointments fill up quickly, so please send you slip back if you would like a later appointment.

Have a terrific week!
Mrs. Vera

Current Events

One way to enrich your child's learning is to discuss current events.  A couple of weeks ago in class, we read about the events in Egypt.  We also discussed the situation in Libya.  This week we will be learning about nuclear energy and the present situation that is affecting people in Japan and around the world.  Students have also had two assignments where they have had to read, write about, and bring in an article about these events.

I encourage you to read the paper and listen to the radio with your children to discuss the importance of things happening around the world and in our own communities.  They have plenty to say about what is going on!

Have a great week!
Mrs. Vera
