End of theYear Party

Our end of the year party will be Wednesday, June 10th from 10:00-1:00 at Caughlin Park right  next to school. We will be having pizzas for lunch and enjoying a great afternoon with friends. We would love some help with fruit, vegetables, juice, water and desserts. We need enough for our class of 36 kids. Please email me to let me know if you are able to help bring something in or if you will be able to help at the party. ddrlik@washoeschools.net
Thank you,
Mrs. Drlik

The Chicks are Here!

I'm happy to announce that the chicks have hatched. We were lucky enough to watch the first one hatch. It was very exciting to see! We were surprised the next morning to find that three more had hatched. The last one hatched right as the morning bell rang. We have 5 fluffy and loud baby chicks!

Cole has Arrived!

Cole Fredrickson was born on Sunday, April 19th. He weighed 7 pounds 14 ounces and was 21.5 inches long. We couldn't be more in love. 

Thank You!!

Thank you so much for all the diapers, gifts and the Babies R Us gift card.  You are so thoughtful!  Have a wonderful spring break!
Love, Mrs. Fredrickson

Registration for Next School Year

Online registration for the 2015-2016 school year went online today. It is imperative to login to Infinite Campus and complete the registration soon. Any parents with students who are new to CRES this year will need to contact the office so I can email them an activation code to set up an IC account.

Brainpop Quizzes

A few Brainpop quizzes will be going home in the Friday Folders this week.  Every time you see one these quizzes this is what has immediately lead up to it:
-the students watched the Brainpop video on that topic
-we took the quiz together as a class so every student was given all the answers
- the students then take the quiz on paper that is the same as the quiz we took together.

Because the answers are all given and discussed prior to the paper quiz being given, these quizzes are sometimes also a "Listening" grade as well as a grade for the academic content area that they fall in.

MAPS Testing

Welcome back! We hope you had a wonderful winter break! We just received the MAPS testing schedule.  Here are our days and times to test:

MAPS Reading: Friday, January 30th
                          Boys at 9:00
                          Girls at 12:30
MAPS Math: Wednesday, February 4th
                          Girls at 9:00
                          Boys at 12:30

There is no way to really "prepare" for the MAPS test.  Every child will end up with a different test that the computer generates specifically for them based on how they are answering the questions.  Some areas that we feel tend to show up more often that students may struggle with are fractions, money, time, geometry and data (graphs). Choosing these areas on IXL would be great practice. 




Holiday Party

We had a week full of fun! Here are some pictures from our holiday party and Christmas program.  Have a wonderful break and holiday season!

Busy, Busy!

Next week is a pretty busy week!  Here are some of the things you may want to remember:

• Monday the 15th- gift exchange presents are due.  Please email us or send in a note if you will be unable to send one in.  This way we will have time to make sure there are enough presents for everyone.
• Tuesday the 16th- Music Program at 2:00
• Wednesday the 17th- Holiday Party at 9:00 and Music Program at 1:15.  If you were unable to come on Tuesday you are welcome to attend this performance.
• Thursday the 18th- Pajama Day.  Please make sure the students still wear shoes that are appropriate for outside and bring coats.
• Friday the 19th- No School
• December 19th- January 11th- Winter Break

With winter storms quickly approaching please check the WCSD website in the mornings if it seems there could be a possibility of a delayed start or a snow day.  The district usually does a ConnectEd call as well to families.

Thank You

Challenge List Mistake

The word "highest" was accidentally on the Challenge List twice.  Please change #16 to the word "insightful".

December Calendar

Here is the link for the December calendar.  It's hard to believe it's already December!! I forgot the put that the 18th is "pajama day".  Make sure to still wear appropriate shoes and bring coats for recess. :)
