Week of Aug. 18-22

 Team Urban,

Our first full week of school is complete with much success!  This past week, students' mindsets were challenged through benchmark assessments in ELA and Math, along with timed multiplication fact practice, Leadership, and Library. Students will be able to begin checking out books this Wednesday when we visit the Library.

Room Mom/Volunteers: Our Room Mom for Team Urban is Mrs. Glavez and Mrs. Aldama (Colbie's and Ava's mom). You will be hearing from them soon.

If you signed up to volunteer in the classroom, please join us in class this week.  I will be sending out emails this weekend to work out times for the days you signed up. Try to give me a heads-up if you can not make it that day.
