- Hour of Code: During our enrichment time today, the kids got a chance to test out their coding stills with lessons from Hour of Code. Each student received their own log in picture to access their account. They are more than welcome to continue practicing at home. The link is Mrs. Lilleboe's Hour of Code 2018 - 2019. This link is also on my "Just For Fun" links too.

- Math Superstars: Math Superstars has begun!! This is our 3rd grade's math weekly homework this year. It's also an excellent source for keeping up with those math skills.

Please, go to the PTA Website to become a member and to find the Math Superstars worksheets (parents print the sheets at home and students turn them in each week).
