Students took the Government Test for S.S. on the chromebooks.  I cannot print out a copy of their test, so I am sending home their scores today.

Per Mr. Stinson’s blog:

Please come out and support our second and third grade students in their concert.  Second graders should arrive at 5:45 and concert will begin at 6:00 p.m. The third graders should report at 6:30 and their concert will begin at 6:45.  There will be a 30 minute break between the concerts.  This will allow parents to leave if they do not have a third grade student performing.  We look forward to seeing you at the performance!

We will be having a science quiz this Friday, March 11th, on the parts and functions of the plant.  A study guide is coming home tonight.  We have been studying these facts for a few weeks in class.

Thank you,

Mrs. Grizzell
