Spring Break / MSTEP/ Thrilla




I hope everyone enjoys their spring break!  Whether you are staying here or going somewhere enjoy the time together with family and friends.
When we return from break 5th grade students will begin taking the MSTEP state standardized test.  Remember, a good nights rest and proper nutrition can really make a difference.  These tests can take a long time and the kids will need some stamina.  They are going to do great!
Thrilla Dog Sled Race is this weekend, I’m excited to share this experience with a few families, and I’ll put together some pics and video of the event. 
Thank you for all your help, kids and parents at the Spring Fling!  We couldn’t do it without you!

Report Cards / Ikidarod / Spring Fling / Thrilla







Report cards went home today.  Rescue them from backpacks if you haven’t seen the envelope yet.
The Ikidarod(click link for video) was super fun this week.  We ran the sleds on the grass after all of our snow melted by mid morning.  Some sleds still need a good home, just come and pick them up.  We have really enjoyed following the Iditarod this week and look forward to enjoying the finish next week sometime. 
Thrilla Dog Sled Race is Mar. 24th.  A note and email went home earlier this week.  Email if you plan on going so we can get a head count in advance.

We have some new advanced reader copies from my friend that works for a book publisher.  It’s so cool to be able to get these books in the students hands before they hit the shelves!
