Enjoy the last few days of the break!

I am hoping that the answer key will be helpful as you help your child with the Unit review tonight. I did tell them that they don't have to do the whole thing but they should definitely practice the parts that they struggle with on homework pages. I don't need any homework turned in tomorrow. This is review only. And they don't need to turn in the other homework sheet for 2.13, either.  Thank you for helping your child review tonight. We are a team!  

We love RAILS Rally days!!

Four students in each class were recognized for following the rules of the school. Congratulations to Sophia, Andy, Charlie, and Spenser. We are ALL working every day to become better citizens of our school and community.

There was some serious work happening with our Regions of the United States Book projects this week.








And the Math partner checks were amazing! These students were so engaged in their learning that I HAD to take pictures.

Of course, we can't be so serious all of the time!
