Progress reports & other important information

I sent home progress reports in the student's red folders today. The percentages and grades represent your child's current standing in the five subject areas of language arts, writing, math, science and social studies. Please review the forms with your child and return them to school *signed* by you and your young one. They are generally quite helpful as we reach the midway point of this grading trimester.

Our trip to San Juan Bautista is next Monday. If you have yet to return your child's permission slip and $1, please do so immediately. Our next filed trip is on February 27th. We will be visiting the Santa Cruz Symphony. We will be traveling by bus to the Mello Center and will require only two chaperones (as tickets are limited). Permission slips will be sent home in the coming weeks.

Scholastic Book orders are due this Friday for those of you interested in ordering. Yearbook order forms were sent home this week. Please check 'em out.

Finally, as we prepare to focus on our next element of art (color), I am asking that students begin to collect samples of one color. It would be helpful if they could tear up magazines or newspapers in an effort to compile samples of the various shades a color can take on. We will be using these in a collage in the coming weeks, so please start collecting soon and often!

Respectfully, Mr. B
