Media Center Checkout
Students will check books out of the Media Center on Thursday afternoons. Please make sure that your child brings their library books to school on that day, so they can return their books and borrow new ones with the rest of the class. 

Explorations
Our students will attend all of their exploration classes on Thursday. Your child should wear tennis shoes every Thursday, in order to participate in all PE activities.

Homework
Your child should be reading nightly. Please have your student use Xtra Math to practice their math facts daily. Also, we suggest that your child use Khan Mappers and Moby Max for extra math and language practice.
