Friday February 28th is a Work Day for teachers to prepare Report Cards [NO STUDENTS]. I will need all absent and missing work completed by Wednesday, February 26th so that I can include those grades on the Report Card. Any work that was missing on the Progress Report, still needs to be completed. Missing work counts as an "F."
Our time at the Coloma Outdoor Discovery School is quickly approaching. J YEA!! Your child will be away from home for 3 days—hard for both parents and kids!! It would be nice if your child had some “mail” to receive while they are at camp. They might not feel so far from home if they could read a letter from you!! Please put any letters you want your child to have at camp in an envelope with their name [first & last] on it. Consolidate multiple letters into “Night #1” and “Night #2” envelopes—that will greatly ease our delivery process. We will distribute them at camp in the evenings. Please try to have the letters to us by Thursday, February 27th. Thank you for making the camp experience a memorable one!!

MAP testing will be next week for 4th graders. Please have your student get into the habit of charging their device nightly.
Students MUST USE their SCHOOL DEVICE for testing. No personal devices are allowed. They may bring headphones from home if they would like.
We are at the halfway point in the year. I always give the kids a talk about how my job has changed. The first half of the year I was molding 3rd graders in to 4th graders but now I am moving them toward being 5th graders. My expectations have increased and I will be looking for much more detailed work from them. You can review your child's work, grades, and my comments in Google Classroom anytime. Ask your student to show you...
