While we have been seeing recent improvement in attendance, we unfortunately did not meet our March attendance goal.


Our April Commitment is to read over Spring Break. Students that return their reading logs after spring break by Wednesday April 23rd will earn a chance to go to a Glow Dance.


Homeroom teachers have copies to give out and the log is below for your convenience.

Avery reported that some other students were having a conflict and as a result a teacher was able to help solve the problem.


Eliza (not pictured) helped another student with their math centers work. She helped them understand how to do the work. She was very kind and patient.


Haddie and Penelope (not pictured) were reading their independent books and read a book about President's Day. They made the connection to what they were reading to what we were reading in class and then were able to share with the class. This was helpful because it gave the class more information about what we were reading.


Payton is always willing to play with all students. She is always willing to play with all children. She will play with different groups of kids every day and make them feel like they belong and happy.
