As this is our last push until student go into Jr High please note:

If students do not hand in their work on time, it will be up to them to see me or hand it in when they have completed it. I will no longer remind them, nor send notes home to parents.

A little difficult to read but still impressive.

 This week in learning:

Today we tried to use the Vretta platform to do a practice FLA written PAT. Students were asked to write their rough copies out last week so they only had to practice writing the good copy. Unfortunately very students had their homework done. On that same note, students were asked to find a poem to memorize and only 7 did so. This seems to be a recurring theme lately and will not be beneficial in finishing the year. Please speak to your child about being accountable for their learning. Thank you
