Updates:

As a part of our regular June refection, we will be asking students to add several work samples to Iris over the coming weeks.  Students will add an artifact for math, reading and writing.  Specific instructions will be given in the "assignments" in Google Classroom so that you will know the details and when to do this work.

We are starting the Reading artifact this week for most groups.  During reading group times you will be receiving specific instructions about recording a reading sample. We asking all students to video a reading sample and download it to Iris. We did this at the beginning of the year. If you have forgotten how to download video on Iris, there are instructions in the technology folder in Google Classroom. The reading sample does not have to be long (3 minutes maximum length).


We still have some student belongings that have not been picked up. If any of the items look familiar to you, please contact your child'd teacher to arrange pick up.
