Common Core: Students took an informal assessment today on their novels using the Common Core Standards. Ask if one of your child's questions was included on the test!
Student Teacher: I am so excited to welcome Savannah Heidloff to our classroom this Spring. She comes to us from DePaul University. She is getting her Masters in Elementary Education. Savannah comes to us with great experience and high recommendations. She will be a wonderful asset to our class. The students have met her a couple times when she came in to observe. She will be in charge of some lead teaching weeks and I will keep you posted when that happens. Savannah begins next week. I'm sure the students will welcome her warmly.
Tasty Dog on Monday: Is this the year we finally win? I hope to see all of you at Tasty Dog next Monday. I'll be selling raffle tickets from 5-6. As an added incentive to show up, I'll buy one raffle ticket for any of my students who also buys a raffle ticket! What a deal!
Academic Fair and Egg Drop: Spring Break is a great time to start thinking about those academic fair projects. An online sign up is available this year. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. It's a great event.
