Week 28

Weekly Greetings!

This week with my parent letter, I will be sending home an assigned time for your conference on next Monday, March 4th. There will be an early release that day, and we will start conferences at 2:15pm. I look forward to discussing your child's progress with you at that time.

Last week, every spare minute we could afford went into the Science Fair projects all the students are entering in the Science Fair this week on Tuesday afternoon. It will be in Tok School library starting at 12:30pm that day if you would like to attend. The students did group projects, and there has been a lot of typing and organizing to do as you can see from the pictures.

Another important even this week will be the start of an elementary reading incentive program called "Read Around the World." Through this activity, students will be learning about the seven continents of the world. Any independent reading time will be counted, so be looking for a new reading log after the "Kick Off" on Wednesday.  The goal will be to read 21, 000 minutes, and class progress will be tracked on a centrally located map. The students must read 3,000 minutes as a class to get to each continent. There will an individual prize for the top reader in each class. Also, there will be a midway prize for each class and grand prize for the class that gets around the world first. Please support your child by encouraging them to read at home and return their reading logs.


Have a fantastic week!


Kind Regards,
