Pennies 4 Peace~ 
I am so proud and excited for our 2nd grade kiddos at Bryant Street Campus! They once again out did themselves. We had a friendly competition with the California Street Campus 2nd graders to see who could donate the most pennies/change to our class community service project. It was a very close race however we collected about $8 more dollars. The 2nd grade team raised $951.00 for Pennies 4 Peace!  Approximately $300.00 more dollars then last years team. Way to go BSC team!

Math Tests~ 

The kiddos did a great job on their "All About Length" unit test last week. Unit test will be sent home this week. They also did a fantastic job on their evaluation on "Time" on Friday. That too will be sent home.

A quick reminder to bring in a notebook for Spanish class. We have Spanish this Monday and Tuesday.
