Happy Friday!
Dear Parents,
This year we're going to use a new tool to share what we're learning in class called Seesaw. Your child will have his or her own learning journal, and you can get notified when your child adds new items. It's completely private -- only you can see your child's journal outside of class.
Click on https://app.seesaw.me/s/763-187-856 to sign up -- it takes just 30 seconds.
Once you sign up, you can download the Seesaw Parent app for iPhone or Android, or access your child's journal on the web.
Thanks!
P.S. If you have more than one child using Seesaw, or want to add a new class/school year for your child, follow the link in this email, then click 'Sign in' tab at the top. You do not need to create a new account.

Thursday, February 23rd will be our reading STAAR Simultation.
I definitely do not want the kids to stress about this. My only wish is that they get a good night's sleep the week before and eat breakfast in the morning. We will be using their data to determine what gaps they need help with, or how how we can extend their learning.
There are a lot of important dates coming up. A month ago, the librarian passed out a read to succeed reading log. They are due next week (check the calendar), to receive a free 6 flags ticket.
