I just wanted to remind you that there is a mistake on the school calendar, Thursday, March 10th is a regular school day. Please mark your calendars...Thursday, March 17th will be an IS day for all of Creekside as the entire staff will be off campus and in Sacramento for a Math professional development seminar. Rideout is offering a full day program on the 17th, please contact them directly to make arrangements for your child to attend. Thank you!

Writing Prompt
This week we are continuing our writing unit on Writing an Opinion: Letter. Opinion Writing has a beginning that introduces the topic and opinion, a middle that gives reasons and an end that asks the reader to take action. Please have your child write an opinion letter to Mr. Jeff about the perfect mascot for our school. Why would it be the best mascot for Creekside? Letters should be sure to include a date on the top right hand side of the page. It should be at least 6 sentences in their best handwriting on lined paper. Thank you!

Please login to i Ready. You should see a red button labeled, “start my lessons”. Please complete one Math and one Language Arts lesson. Thank you!
In closing, I'd also like to remind you that students should be appropriately dressed for the weather and that ALL students need to have a water bottle to keep at school as we do not have cups to offer them should they be thirsty. If your child needs sunscreen, please apply it before they come to school. Thanks so much!
Have a great week!
Miss Jenny
