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).

We are currently working on Unit 5 in Language Arts. Here are the power words, oral vocabulary words, letters, and sounds we will be mastering during this unit. We are continuing to work on handwriting and blending sounds to read words. We are reading decodable passages and recording our reading on SeeSaw. Watch for the decodable passages in the student take home folders and invite your child to read to you.

In math, we are counting to 100 by 10’s and 1’s. We will begin addition after the holiday break. We continue to work on our individual math pathways (on Nearpod). We enjoy celebrating and ringing the class bell as each child masters a standard.

Finally, in science we will begin our Seasons unit. We will discuss what to wear for different types of weather and explore the season cycles.

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!
