We are very near to the end of quarter 2. Our scholars have grown so much these past few months. With this growth is the increasing anticipation for winter break. We are working very hard to finish each day strong and make the most of the few days we have left of the quarter. Please continue all of your hard work as you support your child with homework, listening to your child read, reading with your child, asking them how there day was, and all the great things you do to help your child be successful. Your partnership and collaboration at home is the biggest conduit to your child's growth. Thank you. Please take a look at the items below for important reminders and covered concepts for this week.
WATER BOTTLES:
Several students are forgetting their water bottles each day. The weather is cooler, yes, but they still get thirsty. Please make sure your child has a full water bottle before heading to school each morning.
MATH:
We spent our math block reviewing for the chapter 9 unit test - "Comparing Numbers." We sent the test reviews home today in the red folders. They have not been graded or checked for accuracy. Feel free to go over the review with your child. You do not need to send the review back to school. The unit test will be on Tuesday.
We will be spending Tuesday through Friday of this week reviewing all the math concepts taught during the first semester. The homework will focus on reviewing those concepts as well.
