What's Happening Around Here:
Please see Mrs. Schaefer's blog for school-wide information.
STAAR testing begins at the end of April and continues through May.
STAAR Information: Important! Please Read!
Follow Our Progress:
I post weekly agendas in Canvas. If you aren't connected to your child's Canvas classes, you can join by following this link. This will allow you to see all work posted in all courses. Please know that I do not use Canvas to report grades. All grades for this class can be found in Skyward.
Grades and Skyward:
Please make sure you're checking Skyward at least once a week with your child. I have them check their grades multiple times a week, and I try to do it daily. I don't enter grades in Canvas, so Skyward is the one place to check.
Remember that the "Missing" grades section is misleading. This notification requires a separate entry for the teacher for each assignment, so we don't always mark it.
Look at each class individually and check for low grades that could possibly be corrected as well as zeroes.
IPR7 ends Thursday, April 6. IPR8 ends 4/28.

Classroom Needs:
Please keep us in mind as you clean out drawers and toyrooms. :) We can use most kitchen items, tools, STEM toys and books, and anything that is job-related for almost any job. :)
USED items are wonderful! Please don't buy anything unless you really, really want to. Here's a partial list of what would be helpful.
- LEGO bricks
- SnapCircuits
- Ziploc bags - sandwich, quart, or multiple sizes
- Dish soap
- Dish brush
- Plastic bowls (microwave safe/reusable)
- Plastic plates (microwave safe/reusable)
- Mixing bowls
- Wax paper
- Cooling rack
- Kleenex
- Batteries - AA, AAA, C
- Pulse Oximeter
- Pencils
- Pens
And here's my Classroom Wish List from Amazon. It's a wish list, not a need list. :)
