Charity Walk Has Been Postponed

Due to the weather conditions today, the Autism Charity Walk has been postponed until Monday, May 9.  I hope we have great weather then!  If your child would still like to walk, they will  still be able to sign up since we will be walking on May 9th now.  Did you know that we have 25 out of 28 students walking from our class?  Way to go my little superstars!

Charity Autism Walk Tomorrow!

Yeah!  Our class has 25 students participating in the Autism Fundraiser tomorrow!  This is wonderful!  Please have your child wear tennis shoes tomorrow and either a blue shirt or they can wear the shirt they received last year on the walk.   If your child answers this question correctly on the top of their homework, they will win a small prize tomorrow.

How much money did our class donate to the Autism Foundation?

Good Luck:)

NWEA Reading and Math tests Postponed!

  • Good news!  The test has been postponed until May to allow your child more time to show growth in both reading and math. I will continue to challenge your child in class and review the concepts we have learned as well as introduce them to new concepts. I know you will continue encouraging your child to try their best both at home and at school. Also, thank you so much for working with your child at home. I really appreciate it and so does your child!

Who is Representing our Class in the Art Show?

First of all, let me just say that everyone in our class is an awesome artist!  Even though all of my superstars are fabulous artist, only one student from our class could be chosen to represent McCollough Elementary in the District Art Show.  This year Mrs. Brown, our art teacher, has chosen Hassan’s art work! Way to go, Hassan!  Congratulations to you:)
