Picture day is tomorrow!

School starts again Tuesday morning!  I hope you have all had a wonderful summer (in spite of the smoke) and I'm looking forward to reconnecting with many of you next week, and welcoming some new families into our classroom too. 

This time of year is always so exciting!  CRPS teachers and staff have been back at it this week getting everything ready for the start of another fabulous year. We did so much learning ourselves during our Google Summit this passed Tuesday and Wednesday.  A few new technology tools that I took away from my time was a greater understanding of Read & Write Google, an enthusiasm for Google Classroom which should make sharing assignments even easier, and a new game making tool called Pear Deck that is super engaging.

Our classroom is ready, and now all we need is you and your child to make it complete!  Welcome back!  Let's have an amazing year together!

* I have gone through and edited out the subscription list but if your child has moved on to a new adventure, then I wish you all the best and please follow the link at the bottom of this page to end your subscription*

Finally - wondering about what you can do at home to keep up math skills over the summer?  Here's a great article about exactly that.  Further down there are even a few bullet points of specific things you can do at home.  A big part of math is knowing the basics and feeling confident, building math into daily life sure helps!

What to see more of what your child is working on right now?  We have done a few online assignments recently that students can show you from their drive at home.  Including these two assignments that have been marked and returned online instead of being printed 1- Social Studies research: Shaping an Identity, 2- Science assignment Wetlands websearch.
