Also we will be doing a count down to the end of the year. We will be doing experiments with treats, crafts, games, and more. However, your child will have to earn these by completing their work in order to participate. This is also included in the permission slip.

Your child is required to read 20 minutes every night. This could include Raz Kids, reading books at home or our fluency passage. Here is the link to your child’s Fluency Recording sheet. Your child has a number click on your child’s number (at the bottom of the spreadsheet) to record their reading. Your child should know their number. 
 
*Word sort groups and sorts have changed. Some students may have to redo sorts. Based on a test we took determined which sorts they needed to redo or practice again. Come talk to me if you have questions.

  • Tuesday: Practice the sort and write it on the homework tracker. 
  • Wednesday: Blind Sort (Lay down the guide words and then read the rest of the words aloud without showing them to your child. Your child must indicate where the word goes without seeing it.

    • Complete a 2 minute timing every night for both addition and subtraction facts. Please have your child do EVERY problem in a row, not skipping any.

Field Trip Reminders

1. PACK YOUR CHILD A SACK LUNCH THAT IS COMPLETELY DISPOSABLE. School lunch will not be provided. If they do not have a brown sack or grocery sack to put it in I do have some at the school I can lend out if needed. No microwaves, refrigerators, or coolers will be available. 

2. I completely forgot to remind the kids for tomorrow to wear red shirts if possible. It helps us to recognize Quest Academy kids from others that will be there. If they wore their only red shirt today then it is fine to have them wear a different color but please try to have them wear red. 

red shirt3. Please have your child wear good walking shoes and be prepared for weather conditions. We will be in the museum but we will be able to explore a fire truck outside after the museum portion of our day is done. 

4. Parents who are coming meet at the school and we will leave here at 9am. Or if you can’t meet us here go right to the museum and be there by 9:15ish. 

Chaperones: please bring a backpack or bag to hold the lunches of the students in your group. Thank you!
