Happy New Year! I hope that everyone was able to spend some well-deserved family time together.

I understand that its hard to transition back to school after being off, but many of the students seemed tired today. Please help your child be more successful by setting and enforcing a bedtime (10-12 hours of sleep per night for 10 year olds). No electronics (or even remotes) in the bedroom at bedtime. They are not old enough to have the self control and need YOU to make sure they are getting enough sleep on a regular basis. It does have a huge impact on their ability to focus in school and regulate their emotions as well. Thanks in advance for your help!

This week we begin Module 3 in math (Fractions). This can be difficult so pls. take a look at the homework to see if your child is understanding conceptually what we are doing.

For your planning purposes: The card marking ends a week from this Friday with a 1/2 day on the 17th and no school on the 20th (MLK observed holiday). We will begin NWEA midyear testing in the next couple weeks also.

Hope you have a great week!
