February 2017
- No School on Monday, February 20th.
- Maidu Community Center Fieldtrip on February 21, 2017: There is rain in the forecast and this is partially an outdoor fieldtrip where students see artifacts in nature. The trip will take place rain or shine. Students and volunteers should dress for the weather. They will provide indoor activities if it is too wet or stormy outside but I really hope we can get out and see the Maidu artifacts.
- Tuesday, February 21, 2017 we begin the 3rd and final trimester of 3rd grade. New AR ZPD’s and goal will go home in Wednesday folders. The goal deadline for the 3rd trimester will be June 9, 2017. Each student will need to earn an average of 1 ½ – 2 points per week. If students pace themselves they can definitely reach this goal.
