Week of 3/2-3/6

Hello Families!

I hope you are enjoying this rather blustery weekend! This past week, your amazing 6 grader took part in a full day retreat. I was so impressed at each of their responses, how they opened up, and the maturity and self awareness each student showed. This group of children is such a blessing to work with!

On March 20th, we will be holding parent-student-teacher conferences. These conferences are scheduled through the classroom teacher. In the next week, I will be contacting some of you to meet and discuss supporting your child’s success in middle school and beyond! I am very much looking forward to these fruitful conversations! I also invite your child to be attend as well.

We have a short week this week that includes Chapter 20 Spelling as well as the beginning of our persuasive essay unit. We will also be packing food for meals with Generation Alive!
