Week of September 16- September 20, 2024
This is an amazing third week of school! We have been busy celebrating each other and our US Constitution! We actually created our own classroom constitutions. Students wrote a classroom constitution to ensure that all students will be treated fairly and to create a welcoming environment for sharing, growing and learning. Ask your child to tell you about our classroom constitution that each student signed. The students of rooms 204 and 206 value the 3 Es in our classroom daily....Education, Each Other, and our Environment!
Chromebook Update:
Students were given Chromebooks in class. The Chromebooks will remain at school and inside of the charging cart for use in the classroom throughout the day. Thank you for returning the Acceptable Use Policy Agreement.
-per Jill Geden
Students will be taking the iReady Math Diagnostic in class on Monday, September16 and the iReady Reading Diagnostic in class on Tuesday, September 24.
Please ask your child if he/she has a pair of working heaphones/earbuds at school. We use them all year long and they need to be kept in school.
