One more permission for Valentine’s Day (sorry and thank you!): Valentine Treat Acceptance Permission Form.

We would love some parent volunteers to help students during Language Arts Centers. We need somebody from 10:40-11:30 on Wednesdays and occasionally need somebody on Tuesdays (same time). If you’re interested, please email me at lteichert@questac.org
THANK YOU!!

Our Valentine’s Party will be Tuesday, February 14th @ 10:15.  If you would like to volunteer to help, SIGN UP HERE. Thank you!

Dollar Dress Down will be THURSDAY, Dec. 15 (instead of Friday). Staff will be wearing ugly Christmas sweaters, so all students who have prepaid or bring a dollar are welcome to join in! (Or wear dress down clothing of their choice).

Free Dress Down day will be FRIDAY. Students are welcome to wear comfy pajamas that day (or regular dress down).

Friday, December 16, 9:30-10:30. If you would like to volunteer to help, SIGN UP HERE. Thank you!

Each student was given either a Letter Naming Challenge or Reading Challenge in their take home folder. If returned next Monday, they can earn a small prize!

Students: I will miss you all today, but I hope you have a chance to play in the beautiful snow and create some fun memories!

Parents: Please take some time to read the following story with your child and ask them questions about it. Have them spend 10 minutes each (or more) on Lexia Reading, iReady Math, and their Nearpod Lesson. Login information is in their take home folder (“When absent…” paper). I will email you their current Nearpod code and their Lexia “Weekly Units” goal, but don’t hesitate to email me with any questions. I’ve also included one of the decodable we were going to continue practice reading today and a math workbook page. Thank You!

Story to read to your student:

Lexia Tips: The following pictures show what it looks like when they’ve passed off a unit (the arrow is pointing to a section of a circle–each section represents a “unit”). When they’re in a lesson/unit, there’s a progress bar at the bottom to show how close they are to finishing that lesson/unit. (If they exit before completing the unit, they have to start that unit completely over again). On average, students can complete a unit in about 5 minutes.

Decodable student’s can read to you:

If you need to keep your child home because of sickness, please remember to have them spend some time on their online lessons. (Nearpod lesson codes have expired since printing the sheet in their take home folder, so please email me if they’re absent and I will send you their current code). Thank you!
