I'm hoping that we can be done with rainy weather soon!
Winter Survival - We are still holding out hope for Winter Survival this Wednesday. By now you should have seen your child's group list with the items that he or she needs to bring. Please be prepared for Wednesday, but also be flexible in case we have to change to another day due to inclement weather. The biggest concern in that the wood will be soaked and the fires will not start.
Math - We are working on Unit 4 which included decimals and coordinate grids. So far the students have been doing a great job on it. They can always work on additional problems using Khan Academy or playing games using the Connect Ed. All students have their own user names and passwords. They are taped in the front of the planner.
Science Fair - Students should be well underway with science fair projects. We should be getting project boards this week. The science fair is Wednesday, February 22. Boards and projects should be brought to school that morning. Students who need to work with their partner at school should be doing so by now. If this is a necessity, please ask your child if he or she has done that yet.
Reading - We are continuing to study myths and legends in reading class. All students should be reading for at least 30 minutes every night. Included in this could be reading aloud to a younger sibling or being read to by a parent at night!
NWEA - Our dates and times are: Tuesday, January 24 at 9am for math and Friday, January 27 at 1pm for reading. Please try to avoid scheduling appointments or being late on these dates. Testing is difficult for the kids at times and it can be stressful to be late or miss a test with the rest of the class.
