Good Afternoon,

Small group instruction allows teachers the opportunity to work with students on the skills and concepts they meet each child’s specific need.  This is where the magic happens.  Everyday students grades K-5^th are provided an individualized experience via small groups.

Students in grades 4 and 5 are participating in the Payne Book Battle, thanks to 5^th grade teacher Ms. Johnson. Students have a Daily Reading Log; to track their reading, students with 140 minutes read earn a sticker.

Cheerleading, robotics and student government.

• Cheerleading tryouts have begun
• Our robotics team will participate in a robotics competition on Saturday, December 10^th
• Student Government officers will be elected next week. Students will campaign through the week

Today we ended the day with a wonderful Holiday Celebration, where we encouraged to spread love and enjoy the season.

Next week we are in school all week.  Winter Break begins on Thursday, December 22nd.
