February 2-6

Good Morning,

It has been a wonderful week at school, we are working very hard. We have just begun our common core test review. You will see books coming home and there will be homework assigned in these books for the next month or so until the new AZ Merit test. I am excited to help get the kids ready and I know the kids will do their very best. 

Field Trip this Friday! We are going to the World Wildlife Zoo in conjunction with our study of animals in Science. If you have not paid it is $12.00 per student. I have not received money from all the chaperons yet and it is first come first serve for those spots. I will let you know if you are a chaperon by Wednesday.
