Prizes

Overall a pretty quiet and typical day, but we did have one wonderful bit of news today. Mrs. Koneff, our wonderful librarian, held a conference for the library's 50th anniversary. Students were invited to submit both posters and poems. Well, I am proud to say that both the winner and first runner-up for poetry in fourth grade came from room 19! Why didn't I think to bring the camera? Darn!

I am catching up on grading and letting students know what they need to get done before the grading period closes. We'll be giving some extra chances for some of the tests from earlier in the year in math, too, plus a few opportunities for extra credit in Science and History. Stay tuned. For now, the most important thing is to catch up in writing where most students (though not all) are missing a number of compositions.

Field trip on Friday to San Fernando Mission. Let me know if you can assist. This is a bus trip.
