Latest Happenings

     Good evening! We have been busy the past few weeks. Between testing and trying to establish our rituals and routines, it seems like we haven't had a chance to take a breath. The students have been working very hard and have done a great job becoming accustomed to the classroom, especially after the rocky start with Fay.
     More students are trying to answer the Club Einstein questions. Keep up the good work! These questions were designed to make learning more fun as well as introduce the students to conducting research. Students have also begun emailing their homework as a means of turning it in. We are certainly pleased to see this happen as well. After all, we are living in a world that requires the use of technology more and more each day.
     We have posted a PowerPoint on Monitor and Clarify. This was presented to the class today as one of several reading strategies that we will learn this year. If you have a moment, please check it out. This strategy will help your child to be come a better reader.
     Thanks for stopping by and look for further updates soon.
