MAP Testing

Mark your calendars! Our class will be taking our Fall MAP tests on September 15th, 16th, and 18th (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday). Please make sure your child comes to school well-rested and with a healthy snack. Thanks!

Water bottles!

We are so very fortunate to have the only classroom at Arrowhead with real walls and a door! However, we are the only classroom that doesn't have a sink. So, it is crucial that your child brings a FULL water bottle to school each morning. Please, please, please help encourage your child to make it a habit to bring a filled water bottle to school each day. This will help ensure we are not wasting class time out in the hallway at the drinking fountain. Thanks so much for your support!

In Need Of Volunteers!

I am in need of a parent to organize our class Saturday Live Basket.

I also need someone who is willing to come on a weekly basis to do our Tuesday Folders!

Please let me know if you would be willing to help!

Thanks so much,
Mrs. Peterson
