Congratulations to Corbyn for getting his AR shirt. He has really worked hard to get there. Many others are on his path. I hope to give out many more before school is out.

The Valentine Party was fun. I think everyone enjoyed it. Thanks to all who contributed. Those thanks extend especially to Irene Tilford who helped with it. I have lots of thanks to all the parents who come in to volunteer.

Have a great week!!!

In math this week, we will be reviewing many concepts, such as shapes, geometric figures, fact families, frames and arrows, time, and place value.  We will also be introducing the quarter.  Most of us have learned to count pennies, dimes, and nickels. I hope the quarter doesn't send us into orbit.  Money is soooooo hard!!!

Spelling is going well.  Most everyone is passing at least one test per week.  That is my goal.  

Interest in AR has been piqued a bit since there are now 5 people with shirts and one with a watch.  Congratulations Dariun!!!  He has passed 100 AR tests.  That is remarkable.

I am posting new pictures of AR Stars!!!  Visit the blog.

Have a great week!
