I hope that all families had a wonderful time with family and friends over the Thanksgiving weekend. This week the fourth graders will be completing Reading logs, due next Monday, and they will be completing three ixL Math skills: A 5, 7 and 9. These are also due on Monday. Many personal narratives have been […]
As we prepare for the long Thanksgiving holiday weekend and the upcoming Christmas season, I remind you of our parish Food Drive (grocery bags went home today), and of our upcoming Teddy Bear Day, to be held on Tuesday, December 2nd. This should be a good time to find stuffed animals on sale! Work for […]
As we begin the final week of trimester 1, we have quite a lot going on academically! Some work will carry over to next week, as it is a short 2 ½ day week, and any tests done next week will be part of the first trimester grades. I am assigning four ixL skills, to […]
We have just returned from our first field trip, to Channel Islands National Park Center. We enjoyed ourselves and learned a lot as well. Students are writing about the trip and this assignment is due tomorrow (some finished it in class this afternoon). I hope that it was a wonderful Veteran’s Day weekend for all […]

We enjoyed our “free” Free Dress day last Monday; this Wednesday we will have another Free Dress day, but this time we need to bring $1, which will go towards our mission project for the first trimester, which is Adopt-a-Family. Students can also purchase a bottle of water for $1 every Tuesday and Thursday morning, […]
We return to our normal schedule this week, as we have completed ITBS testing! Fourth graders did a great job dealing with the testing and the heat over the last two weeks! Now if it would just cool down… Last week I launched a new activity, Daily Five. At this point we are Reading to […]
We continue ITBS testing this week and plan to be done on Wednesday. Our daily schedule has changed for those three days. We are doing Math at 11, and we will not be going to computer lab. Since we have two other tests to administer (see below), ixL Math will not be part of homework […]
