We will be taking the math NWEA test this week, so please try to avoid appointments in the mornings if possible. We will start on Tuesday and will likely take a couple days to complete. Kids can bring gum or jolly ranchers again to "wake up their brains" for the test. I will let you know when we're done testing so you can help keep these items at home. Thanks for all your help!

The 4th-grade music performance will be on February 1st in the evening at the high school. They are asked to wear red, white, and blue on the day of the performance since the theme is America. Many kids have speaking parts, so please work with your child at home to memorize the part. The lyrics to the songs are also listed on our Classroom page under the music topic. We will be practicing on the stage in the gym on Thursday afternoon with all 3 classes. 

A big thank you goes out to the Pantellaria Family for bringing another huge bag of extra snacks for the class. Please make sure your child has a snack every day. We went through the last bag of snacks way too quickly. 

The special teachers are in need of extra kleenex and Clorox wipes. If you can donate anything, they would greatly appreciate it!  

We are going to celebrate our hard work on NWEA on Friday by having the hot chocolate left over from the Christmas party. We are in need of about 20 cups if you have any to send in. Thanks!

                                                         Conferences are this week! Please click  here  to check your day & time. The kids have been working hard to complete their slides to present at the conferences. Due to the short time we have together & the length of the slides, I will most likely have you finish up your conference with your child in the hallway after our time is up. Last year the kids could finish at home, but with the Chromebooks staying here, that gets a little tricky. I will set up a desk with some chairs. Thanks for understanding! Laps for Lincoln kicked off this week! Our PTO generously donated shirts and has been busy counting all the donations. We are hopeful for another great turnout this year! Thank you! Hope to see you  at the big event  on Friday from 5:00-7:00!! We are wrapping up o...

                                                         This week begins the student council stuff-a-truck food donation collection.  Students are encouraged to bring any non-perishable food items to school each day. For a friendly competition, there will be a pizza party for the lower & upper el classes with the most donations. Thanks for your help in supporting our community! The Winn Dixie movie reward was a huge success! During the movie, kids were naturally comparing the movie to the book. It was fantastic to hear that the book was better and had more details! We enjoyed popcorn, pickles, Dump punch, and root beer & strawberry candy. Thanks to those who sent in items & thanks to Maggie for making & serving the punch! Since Friday is a half day and the end of the 1st trimester, we will have a read-in to celebrate all o...
