Happy New Year!

Happy New Year and welcome back to school!  I hope everyone enjoyed their holiday break, slept in, spent time with family and relaxed!  I loved spending time with my family and friends, but am eager to get the school year back up and running! 

As we begin second semester, and a new year, we will take some time to revisit some of our classroom expectations, set new goals, and begin new learning and classroom instruction!  I would encourage you to spend some time setting goals at home, organizational, or educational on how we can continue working on our recent successes!

Fixer Upper PBL

Thank you to everyone who took time to come check out our interior design PBL Open House! I know the kids enjoyed sharing their hard work with you!  I know they also had fun selling baked goods too!  Thanks for stopping by!

Tutoring Opportunities

Several parents/students have reached out for some tutoring opportunities.  I would like to extend the following hours to students if they are interested in after school practice, specifically with math.  Students who attend will work on skills being taught in the classroom, as well as, review previously taught skills.  Please let me know if this is something that you would be interested in and what days work best for you and your child.
