Tuesday is picture day.
We had our first phonics test last week. Everything on the test was review from first grade. Students did well for the most part. The blue class already brought the graded tests home. The red class will bring them home on Monday.
We have had to shuffle our lunch times around. The fifth grade was not getting any down time at lunch due to long lines. Unfortunately, this means that blue class will now go to lunch at 10:40, and red class will go at 10:42. This makes our lunch about a half-hour earlier than it was before. CANCEL THAT - WE HAVE COME UP WITH ANOTHER SOLUTION FOR NOW. LUNCH TIME WILL STILL BE 11:17.
