It was great seeing so many of you at School Fair.  I heard many wonderful comments about the fourth grade mission projects.  Well done, fourth grade families!

This week we will be completing Reading logs, due next Monday. You may click here to access the form. Weekly_Reading_Log During the month of March, students are encouraged to finish as many books as they can as part of our Read Across America celebration.  Students will receive tickets for completed books, which are then entered into a raffle, which will be held at the end of the month. Fourth graders have a Read Across America recording sheet, which needs to be signed by a parent each time a book has been completed. Click here to access the form. Read across America
