Week of December 18

In the weekly posts, you will find information about the academic content and special events for the upcoming week.

We had a great week in 5A! Ask your students where they are on the super improver chart! Some of the students are already half way up the wall! If you need anything, please feel free to message me on DOJO. I will get back to you quickly. I typically don’t check this after 9pm.

Congrats to Layla! She is our new Wonderful Wildcat!
