Math Mystery Solution
Thank you to the many detectives who helped solve the mystery of the missing decorations. After solving all of the clues, it was revealed that the decorations were being hidden at The Shimmery Lake. You helped find the decorations and allowed the 5th grade culmination to go on as planned. Excellent work detectives!

Parents - you will be receiving an invitation to view a spreadsheet from Mr. Gabel. These individual student spreadsheets allow you to track the assignments that have been submitted during distance learning. Please remember:
- Teachers and aides update the spreadsheet after receiving and reviewing the assignment. This typically takes place later in the week and spreadsheets are updated by the following Monday. The spreadsheets do not update in real time as you submit assignments through the website. Please be patient with us as we continue to improve our distance learning experience.
- Just added to the "Turn In Assignments" page is a button for past assignments. If you see empty checkboxes on your child's spreadsheet and would like to submit old assignments, please use this button.
Parents - please take a moment to review these expectations with your child. Even though we are not in our physical classrooms, our expectations remain the same for each Kenter Canyon first grade student. We want to ensure that all first graders are ready for second grade in the fall. Thank you for taking time to address these expectations.
