Good morning families!

Our online reading program Raz-Kids is now set up!

Your child’s username and password will be in their planner pocket today along with their next words their way envelopes.

The notice will have your child’s username and password to their Raz-Kids account. Suncrest asks that you please keep your passwords private and kept in a safe place in your home to refer back to.

I have already added in your emails under your child’s account (the primary email I have on file so you do not have to bring the bottom of the form). You will have access through the Raz-Kids app and internet browswer.

My username is ctoor0 as you will need it to log onto the account.

The website to sign onto is https://www.raz-kids.com/

I am very excited to begin this program and I look forward to seeing your children develop their literacy skills.

Thank you,

Ms. Toor

Good afternoon families!

Tomorrow will be a Pajama (P.J.) Day in our class on Tuesday November 1st.

We worked hard as a class the last two months and we earned all of our rocks! Division 12 has asked for a P.J. Day as their class reward.

Good afternoon families!

It has been an exciting fun filled week! Tomorrow is our Pumpkin Patch day at Suncrest.

Division 12 will be enjoying hot chocolate and the pumpkin patch at 11:15am along with Division 11.

Please pack a bag for your child to bring their pumpkin home. We recommend a reusable bag as they are often more durable than plastic. If you have time tonight please label your child’s bag with their name and division number.

Excited to share some photos of what the class has been up to! Here are some from our pumpkin science inquiry the last couple weeks!
