Good evening families-

Just wanted to touch base on a couple things.

1. We had a major clean out today of the lockers and book boxes. Happy Spring cleaning!

2. Both grades received computation packets.

3. Reading logs are due 4/9/18.

4. Some students have unfinished work to complete.

5. 5th grade only-students took home their science fair experiment packet with two zip loc bags full of the necessary materials. I still have the poster board. Due to the rain, instruments and everything else, I decided it would be a good idea to wait until after Spring Break. It will be sent home on Monday the 9th. Students can begin their experiment though.

I think that is it for now!

Have a beautiful Spring Break!

Happy Easter & Passover to those that celebrate!

Warmly,

Mrs. Currie
