Below is a photograph of a dog lost in the Carson neighborhood last night. She is microchipped, but not wearing her collar. If you see her, would you please try to get her to a vet or shelter?
Thank you!

Students in the After School Group will be doing Lexia, Dreambox, Lexia Skillbuilders, and small group lessons with the teacher. When a student has finished their work for the day, they may visit our class’ blog and choose an activity for themselves. On Tuesdays, students have the opportunity to play games of choice that are NOT listed below, such as agar.io.
Each student has an individual plan for time spent in Lexia, in small groups, and in doing independent work. Thus, choice time will vary…except on Tuesday, when all students are allowed an extra 10 minutes of choice time.
Enjoy!
