If your child does not have working headphones at school, please send a pair for him/her to leave at school for use with his/her iPad. RAZ-Kids, iStation, and various other apps have sound that is necessary but distracting to others. Your child will thank you!

A huge thank you to everyone that helped with our Financial Literacy PBL. Through your support, we were able to grant Christmas wishes for four adopted angels! With the funds raised, we purchased two skateboards and helmets, a tea set and dress-up clothes (two princess dresses, a wand and shoes), and two Friends Lego sets! This provided a great learning opportunity for our students. Thank you to all of you who encouraged your children to donate! Their hearts were so full!

There will be no homework this week! Enjoy reading holiday books, watching a holiday movie, looking at Christmas lights, baking, shopping, wrapping, or whatever it is you want to do together this week. We know you are busy! Have fun!!!

Instead of sending a book home with your child over the winter break, we would like for you to use the Raz-Kids reading program. You can access this from your computer or iPad. The books that your child can access are set to his/her reading level, and it offers multiple books that can be read for practice. Your child's teacher will re-send the instructions for using the Raz-Kids program if necessary. If you do not have access to a computer or iPad, please let us know, and we will be happy to send a basal reader for reading practice over the break. We appreciate your help and support! It is very important that your child continue to practice reading over the winter break.
