Please donate Ramen Noodles for the Food Drive!

Thank you so much to the families who have contributed to the 6th grade food drive! We really want to win a pizza party! If you have not yet contributed, we have decided as a class the least expensive thing to donate from the list is ramen noodles, and if we each bring in 10 packages for approximately .10 each we can all spend one dollar and have 200 items for our class! The last day for the food drive is November 1st, and we have to bring them to the assembly on November 2nd! -Love, Mrs. Rivera's 5th grade class!

No Homework on Weekends!

Portfolios :)

I wanted to clarify a few things for parents. As an upperclassman in Good Foundations Academy, your scholar is accumulating their work for a portfolio which we are compiling as the year progresses. That means that they will not have completed work going home. They keep their work in class inside their portfolio. If you would like to see the quality of their work I can make copies and send them home to you. Another option is to come in to our class and look at their portfolios. I am usually in my classroom until 4:30-5:00 every day. I hope that helps!
