  • Thank you so much for all the donations already turned in for the Evergreen Community Club Education Support Drive!  We have one week left to turn in the envelopes!

  • Just a reminder students will visit our school library on Fridays to check-out books. Please remind your child to bring all school library books back to school by Friday.
  • We honored first responders on 9/11 as we made cards and practiced with our grammar skill this week: greetings and closings. 
  • Each student also got a new pen pal this week as everyone wrote letters to my daughter's students.  We will be exchanging letters throughout the year.  How fun and exciting!
  • Secret word: How do you sharpen your saw?

  • We are continuing with learning math strategies for addition. There are some assignments for enrichment in Think Central if you would like your child to work on them.  
  • We went to the school library today. Your child checked out one library week. Please remind your child to return the book by next Friday.  
  • See Saw is the program your child will use the most at home.  Please remind your child to complete his/her SeeSaw assignments. Thank you for your support at home.
  • We had indoor recess this entire week due to the heat.  Please continue to make sure your child brings a water bottle to school daily. It helps if their name is on there too.

August 26-30
  • Students are getting more familiar with See Saw. We had our first See Saw reading homework yesterday. Please let me know if your child is having difficulty logging on at home.

  • Please send a clean sock to school for your child to use for wiping down the whiteboards. 
  • We had our first spirit assembly today.  What fun we had cheering on the teachers! Ask your child to share what happened!
