The Week of February 29th
Weekly Newsletter
Winn-Dixie (the book)
We have been reading the book Because of Winn-Dixie by Kate DiCamillo together as a class. I would like to plan a celebration for March 11th like the one that Opal organizes in the book. Please sign up to send in an item for our celebration at the following link:
Black History Celebration
We celebrated Black History Month as a school last Thursday. There was dancing, singing and even a short play on the grassy area behind our school. The students enjoyed the ceremony and sang and danced themselves despite the cold weather.
Compass Learning
Compass Learning is an important resource that focuses on areas of concern for each student individually. This website uses test result data to tailor practice to individual student needs. If your child does not know their username please email me, so I can get it to you. I have added the Compass Learning link to this page. It is to the right of this post under the the Important Links tab.
