Keep up to date on what is happening in our classroom by reading our weekly newsletters! Upcoming events, what we are currently studying, and reminders help keep parents involved, and students on task!

Dear Parent/Caregiver, Party Central was a great success! Thanks to all the families who attended. I was dunked three times, and that water sure was cold! I hope that this is the beginning of a new tradition at Central. We are starting our Jump Rope for Heart campaign. Look for flyers in your child’s folder. Students can earn lots of cool flyers by collecting pledges/money to support the American Heart Association. This is a great way to support not only people in our community, but a great organization. Thanks for your help. We are becoming “Inspired by the Sea!” This is our unit through the holiday break. On Friday students picked out animals to study. Students will research and write reports in school, but at home they may create a project to present with their reports. Projects can include, but are not limited to a poster, dressing up, skit, Power Point, and paper mache. Look for information about these projects next week. Last week I gave the wrong user ID for Math Expressions. It should be first dot last name, no caps and no spaces (example: sue.smith). The password is still the same: 12345. Sorry for the confusion! If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me. The school phone number is 246-2872. My email address is autumn.mortenson@arkadelphiaschools.org. Sincerely, Ms. Mortenson
