This Wednesday is the Academic Fair. There will be many projects on display from every grade level. Presentation boards are due Monday and students should be prepared with their 5 minute oral presentations. Presentations will be given throughout the week as time allows unless your child is in the actual Academic Fair.
Students will be meeting again for the last of the health talks. We will be meeting on Tuesday and Wednesday during our regular scheduled switching schedule.
Please make sure your child is charging their iPads nightly. I am having many students that are not charging during the night and come to school with 7% battery charge.
I will not be assigning math homework on Wednesday so those in the fair don't feel overwhelmed.
Have a great week!

I hope you all had a relaxing and refreshing Spring Break! This is the first Spring Break that I could not get my pond cleaned and up and running. Still pulling dead fish out of it from this harsh winter!
Students' iPads will be returned on Monday and they go home daily, as we do not have a charging cart anymore. It is important that students don't forget to charge their iPads nightly at home! Again students should ONLY be using their ipads for classroom assignments. They have a new reading popplet to create for vocabulary, a final reading project for our new weekly story, and book groups have been working on a Toontastic for their group book project. Some students also still have late work from previous stories that they are still completing.
April 7th students' research paper rough drafts are due to be checked.
April 10th is the Incoming Parent Orientation that you should plan on going to at Julian. It is from 7-8:30pm in the auditorium.
Have a great week.
