Classroom News
Happy February! January came and went. The students have been doing so well with their new homework contracts!
Georgia Milestones Testing is approaching fast! We only have 8 weeks until we begin testing. We have a lot to still go over and more to review.
To prepare the students for the GMAS, we are using Study Island for the new homework contract. If you do not have access to the internet or a working computer at home, please make arrangements for your child. I am available to stay until 5 PM
Tuesdays and Thursdays, and
arrive at 7:30 AM every morning.
Don’t forget, there will be no school on beginning Feb. 20th-24th. Enjoy your Mid-Winter Break!
