2/28 - No School - Teachers' Institute
During the week of 3/2, students will take two Reading pre-assessments for Unit 2. The purpose of these tests is to provide data that will help to drive instruction. The results will not be entered into the grade book. Students are encouraged to do their best and NOT to stress!
The pajama/movie party was SO much fun! It's such a pleasure to celebrate behavior that is respectful, responsible and safe in our classroom.
Enjoy your long weekend!
