Thank you to all the parents who showed up for Literacy Day.  Each student was given a book that they chose, a writing journal and a pen that they may keep.


Thursday is the Human Growth and Development Talk.


Parent/Teacher conferences will be held Thursday for people with a pink invitation.  Blue invitation conferences will be on Tuesday, March 14.


The annual 4th grade field trip to the Milwaukee Brewers game will be on Wednesday, April 26.  Information regarding costs and chaperone deadlines will be sent home in the near future.  Parents that would like to chaperone MUST have a Criminal Background Check cleared by the school district.  These can take at least 3 weeks to be done.  If you need to have a background check done, or are unsure if you do, please contact the school secretaries.  Background checks are done via the internet and the secretaries need to send the link to an email address.  Every year students are disappointed that their parent can't be a chaperone because a background check has not cleared by game day.

Monday is Literacy Day.


Your child has been sent six RIT Game website to their school email.  Some of these sites are Math only, others are Reading only and some are both.  These sites have games that are developed to correspond with your child's MAP RIT number.  Students were shown how to use these sites today.  Feel free to let your child play them at home, if they have access to their school email.


Thank you to those parents who have returned your Parent/Teacher Conference invitations.  If you have not done so, please do so as soon as possible.  Some conference begin on Thursday.

We had the opportunity to meet the author and illustrator of The Adventures of Joe the Crow.  They are both local residences of the Fox Valley and the illustrator is the sister-in-law of Mrs. Vaubel, a second grade teacher at Clovis.


We began using another digital resource for reading.  It is called Digital ReadWorks.  Students are assigned an article and then given multiple choice and short answer questions.  After submitting their work they can see the results of their multiple choice answers.  We are using it to help with the text structure of cause and effect and will continue to use it throughout the remainder of this year.  Your child should be able to pull up their account from home.  I have a link and the necessary codes in an email to them.


We are going to have 3 days of back-to-back-to-back math homework.  I was sick of Friday and the substitute did not give out homework so we are playing catch up.  After Thursday we should be returning to our every other day homework assignments.


Book orders are due on Friday, if you would like to purchase anything.
