Looking Ahead

Hello students and families.  It has been strange to not see your smiles and hear your greetings each morning.  Our array city art and Stuck Story book covers are waiting to be designed.  Even though you are on Spring Break as of tomorrow, please practice the 4X facts.  Knowing the multiplication facts will be VERY useful as you move through school (and life).

The llamas and other stuffies miss you, and so do I.

Despite all of the Spring Break plans that had to be changed, you are wished all the best next week as you find creative ways to spend your holiday time at home.

Please see the recommendations for activities for students on the CBE website - Learning at Home.



                                           

Best wishes to all of you.  Please check the Blog after Spring Break.  We will touch base with you again at that time.

Mrs. Mason
