Quote of the Week Goes To...
Ava! We came to school Monday, February 1 and after being in Room 9 for an hour, Ava remarked, "Whew...It's gonna be a BUSY week!" She was absolutely correct!
We worked so hard and I feel like each and every child grew leaps and bounds in many different areas! That is so exciting to me!
WE WON THE SPIRIT STICK TODAY! We had 100% participation - every student had sports gear on - THANK YOU!!!! We get to walk the halls of SRE with the spirit stick until the next spirt day.
Here is what is planned next week: February 8-12

Great Job, Dylan and Andrew for working so hard in xtramath! Dylan passed multiplication and Andrew passed Division. That takes a lot of hard work - I am very proud of both of them!
I was very impressed with the Chapter 7 test grades! Thank you for working at home with your child.

send a doc using CCS emails to friends and teachers for collaborative work.
4. We stay on top of current events through an online children's news site called - Tween Tribune.
5. We earn extra minutes of recess each day by having quick transitions (1 minute or less) between activities.
