What a lovely concert our first graders performed last week! They sounded wonderful! We are finishing up the last two weeks of the quarter and continuing to work hard in our learning. We will be excited for a break soon but my encouragement for my scholars is to finish strong, try your best, and be okay with making mistakes. Mistakes are what help us learn. It is hard to believe that we are almost half way through the school year. So much growth has happened in these months. I look forward to where we get soar to next. Have a great week!
WATER BOTTLES:
There are several scholars who are forgetting their water bottles on a frequent basis. Please make sure your scholar has a water bottle in his/her backpack when they leave for school in the morning! This helps minimize trips outside of the classroom to the water fountain several times throughout the day which adds up to time away from instruction. Bringing a water bottle daily also ensures our kiddos are staying hydrated and healthy. Thank you!!!
XTRAMATH - As stated on the daily homework log, scholars need to be logging in and completing Xtramath at least 3 times per week. Completion of Xtramath three times per week is part of the overall math homework grade.
ACADEMICS:
Spalding - Students will learn 10 new words on Monday, 11 words on Tuesday and 9 on Wednesday. The review is on Thursday and the spelling test will be on Friday.
Math - We are finishing our measurement unit this week. The review is on Monday and the test is on Tuesday. The review pages will be going on in the homework folders on Monday. Please go over the pages with your child at home. They have not been checked for completion or accuracy. They do not need to be returned to school.
- After the test on Tuesday we will begin a daily review of all concepts taught during the first semester. This will help prepare us for the Mid-Year Singapore Math Assessment we will be taking this week. The review pages will go home each night. Please go over the review pages with you scholar. They do not need to be returned to school.
