Parents please read:

Hello all,

Could you please help me in reminding your students that the squares for the Diversity Quilt are due this Friday the 8th. Also, let them know that this is an assignment from the library & they are expected to do this. Some of you have opted to grade this assignment which will help in getting them back. If you choose not to that’s entirely up to you, just as long as the students know it still needs to be turned in.

I have had several students already today tell me they never got one, their mother threw it away, (my fav.), or they have lost it. I do have extras to hand out but not 700 extras. Please ask them to really look before they get another one from me. Once they extras are gone I will not cut up new ones.

Thank you so much for helping me with this.

Good morning and Happy New Year!!!

Make sure that you check the Spelling Groups on the Homework Assignments page.  The groups have changed 🙂

Good morning!  In today’s mail, your student will be bringing home letter about making a Diversity Quilt as part of their  STEM requirements.  Please take the time to complete this with your child and send it back by January 8th. 
Thank you!

The only homework your child has tis week is to read for 20minutes and practice their math facts.

December’s STEM Challenge is to Make Toys from Trash.  Each student will be doing this challenge on their own.  We will work on this in class next Wednesday (December 9).  Prior to December 9th, have your child look around your home for things that would be considered “junk”.  They need to bring in whatever “junk” that they would like to make a toy out of.  Please don’t have them make the toy at home.  This is an in-class challenge. 🙂  Here are some things that they may consider trash STEMChristmasProject.  

Requirements: 
**Toys must be safe and not considered a weapon**
**Must be made entirely from items considered “junk”**
