Quick FYI

We just met with administration and they are allowing students to include a store bought, wrapped treat with their Valentine’s if they would like. Non-food Valentine’s are wonderful as well!

Please bring your child with you to parent teacher conferences (or on Zoom). They have prepared to share a presentation for you!

Thank you!

Make Up Work if Absent

Here are some ideas to work on if your child is absent:

1-Read from recent decodables we send home each week.

2-If you have a set of alphabet flashcards (or print one from here: http://qacblogs.org/lisa.teichert/2021/11/18/printable-flashcards/) practice speed in naming the letters and also the sounds (55 in a minute).  Picking up the speed will give them a boost and an advantage in reading! 

3-Practice reading and memorizing the new sight words we’re learning this week: “he”, “with”. 

4-Work on iReady (available during school hours). Go to clever.com and log in using the QR code on the front of their take home folder. Here’s the schedule we follow at school:

Mondays and Wednesdays: Math for 10 min.+

Tuesdays and Thursdays: Reading for 10 min.+

***There is an assigned lesson in math this week, so have them click the “blue box” before doing the “green box” in math.

The link is always available on the right sidebar of our blog as well [“Clever (iReady)”].

5-Work on this week’s MATH and READING worksheet packets. Email me if you can pick them up at the front office and we’ll run them down there for you: lteichert@questac.org

Thanks for helping your child stay caught up when absent!

Parent Teacher Conferences

Parent Teacher Conferences will be held on Wednesday, February 2 and Thursday, February 3.  We will be offering an in person option as well as a Zoom option. I would prefer to meet in person if possible, but if you feel more comfortable or it does not work with your schedule we will be happy to accommodate with a Zoom conference. There are enough appointments available if a child needs more time slots to accommodate parent/guardian situations. Please sign up by clicking the following link: Conference Sign Up Form

Please note: Wednesday will be an early out day (10:30), there will be NO SCHOOL for half day Kindergarten only on Thursday and no school on Friday (November 5).
