This is also an opportunity for you to learn more about the Common Core standards in regards to Math.  PTA Meeting/Common Core Math Standards and Practices Presentation (6:00-7:00 PM)- Mr. LeCrone will share a sliderocket (it’s like a fancy powerpoint) presentation about the CCSS with a focus on how learning math is changing. Teachers will provide input as the presentation plays out and then to stay for a Q&A session following his 30 minute presentation.

Box Tops: A single box top does not stay that way for long. The minute it is donated, it joins another, and another, and another. And eventually, they all add up. So let’s see what yours can do for our school. The classroom that turns in the largest total of Box Tops by Friday, November 30 will win game time with Mrs. Andrews. The kindergarten class that turns in the most Box Tops will enjoy a fun snack and story time with Principal LeCrone! Currently, 1F/Spinola is leading the overall competition with 923 Box Tops and KD is leading the kindergarten only completion with 169.
