If your child is performing please send $1 with your child. I will collect the money and give it to the Asalele's.
The sooner we can get the money the better.

Plant Life Cycle Project
We are creating PowerPoints to show the stages in the plant life cycle. I have asked the kids to be creative! They are working with a partner. The document is a shared document, meaning both partners can work on it at the same time from different locations. Each group has their own link to their PowerPoint. I am including the links. We will be going to the computer lab to work on this, but many of the kids wanted to work on it at home. Please help to ensure that they are on the link with their name by it.
Thanks for your support,
Mrs. Nelson

Weather Forecast
We have been learning about weather. The class worked with a partner and created a 5 day weather forecast and an assessment at the end of the unit. They worked really well together and they turned out really cute. Please take time and enjoy the videos.
I would like to thank Mr. Asalele who came in and recorded the weather forecast.
