Look at what we will be learning next week:

Learners will begin to write their own action word problems with the unknowns in any position as well as continuing to work on how to solve action word problems (addition or subtraction with unknowns in any position)

For example, create a word problem for ? + 12 = 20

Snack

We have a short snack time each day. It is important that they have a healthy and nutritious snack each day to fuel their bodies. We also ask that the snack they bring is completely free of peanuts/tree nuts. This will help provide a safe environment for all learners. Thank you for your help!

Parent Newsletter

Ms. Martin, our principal, sends out a weekly parent newsletter. Please make sure you read this every week. You can click the image above for easy access.

Volunteers

If you anticipate volunteering on campus at all this year, please click here. A new form must be completed each year.

Birthday Treats

Birthday treats brought by students must be store bought, have its ingredients listed, and run by the nurse before given to students. It is recommended that the treats are individually wrapped and nonperishable treats that are easy to pass out. 😊 Birthday treats will continue to be passed out at the end of the day to be eaten at home.
