Thank you drivers and chaperones for joining us on the fieldtrip today! That is one of my favorite trips of the year - so much to see and learn, and it's all so beautiful! - I hope you all enjoyed it as well.  

Students have an optional extra-credit opportunity due this Friday - to write about what they learned and enjoyed about today's fieldtrip.

* Check out the changes to the right side of the page. I have combined the Homework and Tests sections. There are also now two Links sections, one for students and one for parents. The Student Links section contains several links to sites the kids can use at home to practice their math facts, learn to type, or study for social studies or science. 

* Join me in welcoming a new student to our class - Kimberley has just moved here from Auburn, and chose a great day to start at Rio! 

* Please read the previous posting for more information about this week *
