SCA

This week, Mr. Van, Miss Renee, and Miss Rachel visited our class to discuss what it means to be an earth steward!  We then learned the earth steward pledge and created pictures that showed how we are all connected to our environment in different ways.

Weekly Math Challenge

Each week, students in our class can participate in the weekly math challenge.  Students can work indecently or collaboratively, whichever they decide.  All students that get the answer correct are entered in a drawing for a prize: homework pass, lunch in the class with two friends, or a day at the teachers desk!  Our first winner was Jake B.  Way to go, Jake! Who will it be next week?

T-Shirts are due Friday, February 6

Please send your child to school with a plain, light colored t-shirt by Friday, February 6th.  We will be  decorating the t-shirts next week in class and will be wearing them to the TIGER presentation in the next few weeks.  If you are able to donate extra t-shirts or t-shirt decorating supplies, it is GREATLY appreciated!  Seeing our whole school come together as everyone wears their shirts to promote self-esteem and positive self-image for our TIGER presentation is going to be amazing!
