I hope everyone had a relaxing break! I would like to say a huge THANK YOU for the lovely gifts and treats given to me during the holiday party. How thoughtful of you all! One last thank you goes out to the parents and family members that were able to attend our party. It was a success!
Today is the first day of the 3rd nine weeks and everyone starts off fresh and new. Below you will find important information and upcoming dates.
This week you will find reports of the December District Assessments in math, reading, and science. Please review the scores and reflection with your child and return it to school. Record any questions and concerns at the bottom of the page.
Reminders: Science fair is optional for 3rd graders, but if your child is interested in participating this year’s science fair, please attend Science Fair Research Night on Thursday, January 10th from 5:30-6:30pm. There will be sample projects displayed and teachers to provide answers for any questions about the science fair. If your child participates in the science fair, he/she will receive extra credit in my class for science and writing!
Sokikom now has e-mail parent reports. I will be sending those every Friday for you and your child to review their behavior for the week. These reports will look slightly different than the ones from the beginning of the year because it is a different program.
