Hello Trailblazer Families!

This week, we celebrated the following teachers with POP Tickets:
Golden Spoon: Ms. Burton
Attendance: Mrs. Jordan
Golden Shoe: Mrs. Jordan
Golden Broom: Kindergarten
What a wild and windy week! The weather has definitely brought April Showers - I can only hope that the May Flowers are soon upon us.
The students have been very busy working and learning this week and I was able to teach a few classes this week, as well. Today - Mrs. McDonough, Mrs. Marker and I worked with 5th grade on some real-world fraction learning. The students were really engaged and excited to build their learning and grow through this process and I was absolutely thrilled to work with them.
Next week - we continue to take the IREADY assessment and FASTBRIDGE screener. These measures give us knowledge of what students have learned this year and where we will continue to adapt our student's learning for the remainder of the year. Please ensure that your child is here, on time and ready to show us what they know.
See below from Mrs. Weihe - library books will be due much earlier this year, as the school year ends so much earlier! Please make every effort to find lost books, we want everyone to be able to check them out.
Good afternoon, Families!
