What's Happening This Week----March 18th Through March 22nd

Everyone did an awesome job on their "End of the Quarter Skills Test".  I am so very proud of all the K-1 students.  The students always read their reading homework assignment  , to me, upon returning to school. Each student is doing a nice job when reading and sounding out the words.  I can see and hear the students using the phonics rules, that they have been learning, to try to figure the words that they have forgotten.  Thank you, parents for listening to your child read to you.  Reading at home makes a great difference for these early learners.

The K-1 students have been practicing their manners all school year---for example, when telling what milk they would like for snack time, the students say---chocolate please and thank you.  The students are doing an awesome job on that manner.  Now, the students are learning that when someone says "Good Morning " to them or :Hi" they need to says "Good Morning" or "Hi" back in return.
