Week 26 Feb. 25 - March 1

Team Urban,

There are 5 more days for 2nd trimester.  It ends on Feb. 28th.  The AR deadline is also Feb. 28th.

CSC Spirit Day next Friday 3/1!!
Read Across America Day- Dress as your favorite Book Character.

CSC Book Swap for Read Across America Day on 3/1
We will be having a book swap on 3/1 for Read Across America Day.  Students will be encouraged to bring in 1-2 books that they have loved at one time and would like to swap out with another book. We would like the books to stay in the 2-8th grade levels. The students can drop off their books at the table outside of the library first thing in the morning and get a ticket for each book they bring in. Tickets can then be traded for books throughout the day and after school. Students can also come after school and during lunch to trade out their books. 

Spelling Bee is March 14th at 5:00.  This year, Stevie Coate is representing our class, and Guadalupe Landeros is our alternate.
Congratulations and good luck! 

Week of March 12th-Conference Week 
We will be having our classroom open on Tuesday, March 12th from 1:30 pm to 3:30 pm. Come by and see us! We look forward to seeing you! 
If you wish to conference with me, please email me by the end of this week to schedule our time.  My day for private conferences is on March 13th from 1:45-3:30.
