Week 23 Feb. 5 - 9

Team Urban,

Last Thursday, December/January Assessment Logs went home.  Only 5 were returned signed.  Please review them with your child and sign and return the log this week. 

One score you will see on the log that may be considerably lower than other scores is Topic 11 Post test for math.  Overall, this was a difficult topic on two-step word problems using all four operations.  We will continue to work on this concept for the remainder of the year. 

Leader of the upcoming week:  Zoey Stults



Students doing their thing on Friday mornings for Spirit Day!



It's hard to believe that Spring Break is right around the corner. Please mark your calendars as February 28th is the last day to AR. Also, since second trimester conferences are optional, for many, we will be hosting Student-Led conferences during the week of March 12th - 16th. More details on the specific date and time coming soon.

Also, please remember that ILCS is a leadership school and service is something we value greatly. Your kiddo is required to complete a service project and 8 hours of service. The project will be due in May. Additionally, our grade level service project will be completed after Spring Break and all of our contributions will go to help YAPS. These activities always bring a huge smile to everyone involved!

Our class will be having a small Valentine's Day celebration on February 14th from 12-1. If you can contribute to the celebration, we would greatly appreciate your donation. Thank you to those families who have already contributed. Please know that your child does not have to distribute Valentine cards, but if they choose to, they must include everyone in the class. A class list is on our Google Classroom for all to view. Thank you for helping our celebration be a success!

Lastly, we have some exciting news! Third grade will be going on a field trip to the California Theater in San Bernardino on Friday, March 16th. We will be seeing Beauty and the Beast. We are excited for this opportunity to see a Performing Arts show! Please donate to Dollar-A-Day as theses funds are what support our field trips. Tickets cost $12.50 per student. Please understand that seat/tickets are assigned since this is a theater performance. This means that we will not need chaperone signups for this field trip. Please fill out the digital permission slip sent through parent square. All permission slips will need to be digitally signed by February 28th.
