2011 News

Happy New Year!!!  We are starting the year off with a bang for first and second grade students!  Tuesday will begin the second AR store this school year!  Students have been reading lots of books second semester!  I am so excited that they will get to spend their AR points on prizes!  Keep up the good reading!  The more you read the more you will grow!

Kindergarten students will be talking about growing.  This will include humans, animals and plants.  I am looking forward to seeing how much you have grown this past semester!  You can really see changes in you after the break.

December Days

The next few weeks students will be learning about Christmas traditions.  Fiction, non-fiction and map skills will also be discussed during our classes.
