Week of 2/11 - 2/15

It is that time again to start discussing the book club, Page Turners, for March.  On Monday, I will be sending home information about the book for March and the ordering process.  I hope your child takes advantage of this opportunity!

The book we will be reading for March is...

The One and Only Ivan by Katherine Applegate (2013 Newbery Medal).

The ordering process is the same as always, either send in a check paid to Scholastic for the amount of $15.99 or go to https://orders.scholastic.com/J6M3N and order online.


Tuesday, Westside will be celebrating Mardi Gras with Fat Tuesday.  Students may come dressed-up in purple, green, and gold.

Page Turners has been moved from Friday morning to Thursday morning at 8:00 a.m.  Please try to be at the school promptly at 8:00.  I will be down at the front office letting students in by 7:55 and will leave to go back to my classroom at 8:05.  

Friday will be a very important day for your child.  Unfortunately, I will not be able to attend school.  I very much dislike having to take any time away from my students, but I have to this Friday.  They will be working on a Black History project with their groups.  I am expecting all of my students to follow my same expectations with the substitute as they do when I am present.  If they cannot adhere to what I expect, there will be severe consequences when I return next week.  If they truly do respect and appreciate this year, they will do what they are told.  There will be many rewards for students next week that exceed my expectations - including a 5:30 Friday Frenzy next week!!!  

Let's shine!!!
