REWARD FOR GOOD ATTENDANCE

Our field trip to the World of Coca-Cola last Friday was a reward for good attendance for this school year. It was for those who only missed less than ten days of school, and about 25 of you in my class got to go. It shows that it really pays to come to school regularly, because you learn more and you get to go on a fun field trip!

A TASTE OF THE THEATER!

Today, we had a taste of what it would feel like to visit the theater and watch a live show. I know it is very different from watching a movie in the movie theater, but I hope you enjoyed the storyteller's show about Edgar Alan Poe!SDC10527  SDC10525

GOOD LUCK ON THE C.R.C.T.

Dear students:

Welcome back from your Spring break, I hope you had a wonderful and restful time. 

As you know the CRCT is only a few days away, but I know that you are ready because you have worked hard throughout the school year, and you will do well. Just remember to ....

Get a good night's sleep and eat a good breakfast before the test

Take your time during the test to read all the directions and all your answer choices before you choose the best answer

Check your work over after you finish to correct mistakes, and to make sure that you have bubbled your answers correctly.

Do your best! I know you can do it!
