Welcome to 4A 

      Mrs. Ciunci

*****HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY*****

 

Wednesday: Dress down Day $1

         Below you will find a new and exciting program I am trying this year. It is called the Mastery Club. This "club" is for students who want to go above and beyond what we learn in the classroom and are up for a challenge. Students can pick any challenge, click on the link next to the challenge and learn about a specific topic. They then come to me during snack or recess and complete the challenge. Some will be written and some will be oral. Once they complete a challenge they will receive class money. I will keep track of the challenges and award the students a certificate at the end of the year. I will also post their name on the wall of our classroom for all to see!  The students seem very excited about Mastery Club and want to begin right away. Thank you to Mrs. Renz who has given me permission to adopt this wonderful project. Good Luck Students and Have Fun!!!
