CWACOM Day!

What a great day...celebrating all of the hard work everyone put into their own versions of the story, Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs.  Mrs. Mullen's kinders enjoyed listening  to our wonderfully written stories. We sent them on their way with Chocolate dipped strawberries, inspired by JL's writing: "Sweet chocolate fondue rained down from the north. It was hot and melted when it landed in the fountain."  In the afternoon, we got cozy on cushions, watched the movie and munched on popcorn! Parents will get a chance to hear these stories during Student Led Conferences next week!

Nothing like fresh snow for Beach Vacation Day and a fine welcome one of my favorite seasons.....Spring!

Looking Into Next Week....

On Monday and Tuesday, Mrs. Tolsma will be covering for me while I attend the 2 day Project Based Learning Workshop. At this workshop, I will be planning and designing an engaging and rigorous project for my students.

STUDENT LED CONFERENCES

Conferences are being held on Wednesday, March 25 from 3:30 - 7:00 pm. There is no formal schedule; we will be using a drop in format. The students have been excitedly getting ready to show off what they have been learning! Expect to spend approximately 20 minutes with your child on this evening. Please understand, because of the level of traffic on this night, there will be no individual interview times with teachers. If would like to speak with your child's teacher individually, please phone or email them and they can arrange a time with you on another day. Many parents utilize these individual meetings regularly and our hope is that if there is a concern or you require a meeting that you let us know as the need arises. We hope to see all of our families out on this evening!

BOOK FAIR

Just a reminder to all that our spring book fair is being held the same week as the student led conferences: March 23-25. Specific hours for this event will be sent out shortly. We hope to see you there!
