Martin Luther King JR Day 

We hope you all enjoyed celebrating the life and legacy of Martin Luther King JR. on this beautiful day in Savannah. 

Fort Pulaski Field Trip $5

Our class is headed to Fort Pulaski on Thursday. Students will step back in time and take part in activities that illustrate what life was like for people during the construction and occupation of Fort Pulaski. Students will discover how energy, fire, and heat played an important role in the 1800’s and in the lives of the people during that time period.  If you haven't already, please sign and return the field trip form. The cost of this trip is five dollars per student.  Permission slips and $5 due ASAP. Thank you.

Parent Engagement

Please plan to meet other families and teachers in the Charles Ellis Media Center this Saturday, January 21.

Snack

Our third year students are making the shopping list for snack each week. They are using coupons and finding organic items to be purchased within the $30 weekly budget. If you have a third year student, talk to them about this weekly assignment. If you'd like to volunteer to have your family go to Kroger and purchase the weekly snack items please let me know via Remind or email. 

Homework

The lower elementary classes have the following homework expectations:

Read for 20 minutes each night, either independently or with family members.

If you have access to technology at home, your child can follow their i-Ready learning path.

Math facts (addition, subtraction, multiplication or division)
