We have an A.R. field trip planned for the 29th of this month. We have room for 25 kiddos. Push your students to be reading and taking A.R. quizzes so they can go!
Please keep Ms. Blythe in your thoughts as she is having surgery Monday the 12th of January. She looks to be out 8 weeks at the earliest.
Keep your eye on the prize... we have 54 days of instruction before the O.C.C.T. exams begin. 32 before the 5th grade writing. Do not waste any time, work with your students, prepare them to be successful. Don't let all of the hard work and hours we've spent this year go to waste. Our students deserve the best opportunity to be successful.
***Correction, these conferences are held in February.*** Keep in mind that next week are parent conferences... please have your ducks in a row.
