On behalf of our entire team at Anderson School, we wish you all a fun, safe, and magical Holiday Season. Our hope is that your kids can enjoy the winter break as they play, rest, explore, build, and laugh. Thank you for all of your support and encouragement. See you all in 2021!

I wouldn't be doing my job if I didn't remind you all to make sure your kids are reading, thinking, and stretching their brains every day. One way to make sure that happens is to have them complete their iReady minutes in Reading and Math every day/week. Ask them about the iReady Winter Break Challenge?

School starts back for all students on Tuesday, January 5th!

Thanks for "Digging In" with us through 2020.

Appreciative,

Mr. Jarot

Don't let your kids brains turn to mush over the break. Keep their learning momentum going by making sure they get at least 30 minutes each week in both reading and math on iReady.

The class from each grade level that has the highest percentage of students who complete their iReady minutes will be crowned the iReady Winter Champions and win...

• Double Recess
• Hot Chocolate at Recess
• Classroom visit from the Gorilla
• (and a secret "funny prank" that we will plan for your teacher)

One class from each grade will win. It might as well be your class. Good luck and get busy with iReady reading and math!.

Click below to watch our final episode of the Anderson Morning Announcements. The "true" identity of the gorilla who has been roaming our halls these past three weeks is revealed. We hope these goofy videos brought some smiles, giggles, and helped get kids excited to log into their remote learning class each day. You'll never guess who the gorilla was. :)

PS. Has anyone seen Mr. Smith's shoes? Smell ya later! :)

Even in the current pandemic, there is so much to be thankful for in District 303 and at Anderson School. One way to really show your thanks is to fill out the D303 Thankful Button below. Simply click, find Anderson School, and write a simple note, story, example, or photo explaining how much you appreciate your child's teacher.
