March Updates


Good Morning Families,

Thank you all so much for attending parent/teacher conferences over the past week. I hope that all families were able to reach out to your child's classroom teacher in someway. As you are aware students have been continuing to do reading celebration month here at Shawsheen. To conclude our month of celebrating we are sharing short video clips of teachers talking about books they love. The students did see this at lunches but I promised them I would send the link home for them to re-watch with their families if they wanted to. In addition, I am sending the challenge home to any families that want to create their own flip video. Below are the directions and the link. You would be part of the montage from all other students who complete it. By participating you are giving permission for anyone on the video to be viewed by others. On Thursday, March 29th we will watch the videos that were submitted during lunches.
