We are excited to provide additional time for math enrichment for our 
students. We are reorganizing our schedule to include an additional 45 minute 
block. This will allow us to focus on math standards on which our students 
need additional support as well as provide extension activities for those 
students who are proficient but are ready to engage in activities that 
stretch the learning. Please see our attached schedule for details. 

Our particular class schedule will basically stay the same, except for some 
changes on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

Book Adventure is a program to support reading at home. Information about 
this program was sent home several weeks ago, along with log in instructions 
for the students. This program is similar to Accelerated Reader, but the 
points/prizes will not be handled at school. Check it out at 
Bookadventure.com . If you need the log-in information again, let me know.
