Donors Choose Project Pictures

Here are a few shots of our class enjoying some books donated to our class through our first Donors Choose project!  Thanks again to all of the families who helped us receive these books!  The kids love them, and couldn't wait to start looking at them!  We have another set of books coming soon through our second Donors Choose project which was recently funded.  Be looking for more pics of your kids enjoying our new materials!

LPA Fundraiser

La Paloma Academy is selling first aid kits!  We are trying to make some "healthier" choices this year...

There will be a variety of kits for purchase from Sept 11-20th.  The kick off assembly is this Wednesday and parent information will go home that day as well.  Our assembly is from 9:00-9:15 in the gym.  Come to the assembly to find out more, if you can!

Please Come See Me!

Now is the time to set up conferences to discuss your child’s progress.  With homework notes and progress reports going home this week, as well as reading groups, testing, etc., we have lots to discuss!  I want to meet with everyone so please set up a time!  Write a note, send an email, etc.  Let me know when you would like to meet!  


Also, check out this link to find tips to help organize your child (managing homework, study habits, etc.)  I've used some of the ideas with my own children, and they work!
