We have two weeks left in Quarter 2! Encourage your students to finish strong. We will be taking our NWEA benchmark testing to see all that we have learned from first semester and what we still need to learn second semester. Encourage your student to use persistence and give the test their best effort!
Elearning Dec. 16- Next Friday, Dec. 16 is designated as an elearning day. Students will be online with their teacher. Further details will be sent home by your child’s teacher.
Boys’ Basketball Intramurals- Papers will be coming home this week for any boy in grades 3-5 that is interested in basketball. Intramurals will be conducted next week and the first week after break. If your student is interested, permission forms must be turned in by this Friday, Dec. 9. Try-outs for the basketball team will be held at the end of the clinic.
Handprint Backpack Keychains
Students recently completed a handprint backpack keychain project in art class. The students learned that colors have meaning and emotions. Students decided which feeling they have most of the time. Then they painted their own hand and placed them on shrinky dink paper. Ask your child about his/her handprint keychain and why they picked the color that they did! It’s a great memento for a parent and a great tool for students to express themselves. Thanks to Mrs. Povey for putting this special project together for our students.
