Classroom News:
Hello First Grade Families,
Your children have worked hard to prepare some google slides to share with you at their student led conference next week. I will be giving you a folder with samples of your child's work and report cards at the conference as well. If there is time left I am happy to chat with you with your child present or your child can use one of our classroom IPADs to play educational games while we chat...your choice.
Our school is asking that all parents take the following survey by the end of next week: Click HERE for the survey link. These questions help us evaluate how we are doing on our current school strategic plan.
If you would like to chaperone our Sacramento Field Trip on April 25 from 8:30am to about 2:00pm. please click here to go to our volunteer link to sign up. Thanks!
