Message from the Principal

Please read the following message from Mrs. Bright.



With the days really warming up, children begin to pull out cooler clothing. Parents, please inspect their choices before sending them out the door.  Kids have a way of growing a lot over the fall and the shorts or skirt that was perfect at the start of school is much shorter now. A good rule of thumb is that skirts and shorts should be about fingertip length. Spaghetti strap and halter style shirts are also not allowed at school unless a light sweater or other top is layered over it.  Basketball-type jerseys must have regular arm holes and not be open all the way down the sides. We want the students to be comfortable during the day, but we also need to adhere to the district dress code. 

Another reminder - Students may bring in water bottles to sip on during the day, however, they must be used for water only. Other liquids such as cool-aid, coffee and soda should not be brought to school. Please ensure that the containers will close tightly and won't leak. Cups with straws will not be allowed in the theater or in classrooms. 

Thank you for your help with this.

February 22 week in review

Isn't this weather great today? With it being such short weeks, last week with early release and Valentine's and this week with Monday off, we will get back to our weekly news sheets next week. We have spent last week and this week wrapping up unit 5 in math and finishing some projects with writing. We continue to work on fluency and making our reading sound like talking. Students concluded Unit 5 this week. We will continue to review skills taught throughout the unit. Please continue to review counting money, simple sums to 18 and place value. We will begin fast fact assessments later this week. These are those basic simple sums to 18. Ex.  3+4=7, 5+4=9 We will begin with easier facts and work our way up to the higher sums, 9+7=16. Also please send the reading log and folder back each day. Even if you had a crazy night and didn't get it done, I let them take the book back the next day.

Miss Nelson Is Missing Readers Theater

We had lots of fun making guesses for our 100th day bottle activity. We had so many creative ideas. Check out our 100 items museum. We also played a game where we read 100 words.
