Happy Holidays!!

Thank you for all of the wonderful presents.  You are all too generous and spoil me!!

  I hope that you have a restful, relaxing, and safe holiday season as you enjoy time with family and friends. 
See you next year!!! 

Mr. Mark's Last Day



Start Time & Tardies


We averaged over 60 student tardies per day at Mundy in December!  YIKES!!
School begins at 8:15, which means your child needs to be in the classroom
(if raining) or on the blacktop at that time.
We will be closing all gates at 8:12am and students will need to
enter through the office. Please help us prioritize the importance of
arriving before the bell and ready for our academic day.
Our morning PE consists of 40 minutes toward student’s weekly
PE minutes and this is part of their grade.

Thank you for partnering with us to minimize disruptions
and emphasize the importance of being on time.

Coding with our Kinder Buddies


We had fun teaching our Kindergarten buddies how to code this week!!  The "bigs" were very patient teachers to the "littles"--many of whom had never used a trackpad before.  It was very sweet!!

Book Exchange

Before we leave for break, we will have a book exchange.  If your child wants to participate, s/he needs to bring in a wrapped, unmarked book.  The book should be good for both boys & girls--and appropriate for our reading levels.  Every student that brings in a book will get a different book in exchange through a fun ["White Elephant" type] game!! 

Hour of Code

We coded this week!!  The kids loved it!!  Khan Academy, Scratch, Tynker and Hopscotch are FREE web-based sites for kids to explore and learn.    I put several links up on Google Classroom so that kids can code on their own.  
21st Century kids code--that's US!!
