We will be holding our annual Curriculum Fair on Monday, May 11th at the Washington State History Museum in Tacoma. There will also be SBAC testing there that day. We will be bringing our NEW curriculum adoptions from the year as well as all our recommended curriculum (on TCP). If you are planning to attend and have a specific curriculum and level in mind that you REALLY WANT to see, please fill out THIS SURVEY so we can make sure to bring what you want to see. Mark your calendars if this is something you're interested in!

For the last several weeks we've been discussing learning standards and statewide assessment, so we wanted to share the link to the practice test. Feel free to go in and explore. This is VERY similar to what students will be taking come spring. Here are step by step directions for navigating the practice test. There is no limit to how many times you go through it.

PEARL Connections offers parents a space to connect, collaborate, and learn together while students take part in activities. Join teachers and other families to share resources, discuss curriculum, and explore school topics in a supportive community setting.

To find a Meet Up in your area, be sure to keep an eye on the announcement section of your teacher’s weeky emails. You can also email efrantz@qsd48.org if you have any questions about these events.

Friends make life more fun and help us feel connected. Good friendships are built on kindness, respect, and trust. Social skills — like listening, sharing, taking turns, and solving problems peacefully — help us make and keep friends. Everyone can learn how to be a better friend by practicing these skills. This is our health lesson for March and can be found in our PEARL Health series.

Earth Day reminds us to take care of the planet we live on. The Earth gives us air, water, food, and beauty, but it also needs our help. Small choices — like recycling, saving energy, planting trees, and reducing waste — can make a big difference. When families work together, those little steps grow into big change. You can find lesson ideas in our PEARL Heritage lessons.
