A HUGE congratulations to Ava for winning the Fall Festival t-shirt contest!  We can’t wait to see your beautiful drawing on shirts all over the school!  Don’t forget to order your child a shirt.  Information is on the Hunt’s Catch-up.  We are SO proud!

What LEARNING and GROWING went on in room 315 this week:

The district is also encouraging parents to make sure they are able to get into Schoology. It’s most commonly used for the middle and high school, but it is another way for us to stay in touch. I am planning on having the kids do a project later on, and my Recess course is where everything will be. Mrs. Nehemias trained students with their username and password Wednesday and how to navigate through the site.

Want to be be notified when your child takes an A.R. test and what their score they received?  Go to the homepage under your students login and click the mailbox that says, “get email updates to track your students work.”

Don’t forget to practice your multiplication facts at home for fluency.  Please contact me if you would like more ressources.
