It was great meeting with all the parents this week for conferences. Thank you for your time!



We would like to wish Miss Boyer the best of luck as her student teaching ends this week. We loved having her in our classroom. We are going to miss her very, very much!






*Reading: We will begin a new strategy focus as we learn about evaluating text and visualizing as we read. We will use the story Dogzilla as well as other novels and text as we apply these skills. We will also work on strategies from previous weeks.
