2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th Grades

After Thanksgiving Break all PA grade levels will begin their Literature Units. Third, Fourth and Fifth Grade focus on a theme of "Change". Students will read short stories, novels and poetry. We will break down the stories and analize the literature elements. Fourth and Fifth Grades have already begun with a Pretest after reading a short story/poem. Second and Third Grades will begin when they return from break.

Mayan Pottery

Fifth Grade students recently completed their interpretation of ancient Mayan pottery which is currently on display in the LMC. In February it will be on display in the Project Arrow room during Open House. Hope to see you there.

I will no longer hold Parent-Teacher Conferences in the Homeroom Teachers classroom. If you would like a conference, please contact me to set up a time during the scheduled conference days in November.
