Important Announcements

Mrs. Cushing, the PE teacher, is looking for some help with her  indoor tennis unit come April.  Parents can just come in for their child's 25 min. PE class or come for the grade level time.  Students need help getting the fundamentals down.  Students would benefit from having extra people to help toss balls to them so they can practice their skills.  Please let her know if you are available at all to help out.  Please email Mrs. Cushing at tcushing@ccsd66.org  Thank you!

I am looking for more volunteers to help me organize my classroom library to align with Fountas & Pinnell's reading levels.  If you have some extra time to give, please email me. You can come in when it is convenient for you. This can me done over the next several weeks. Thank you!  Thank you Mrs. Wawro and Mrs. Staehely for your help!!
