Happy Friday!
I hope everyone has a happy and safe holiday break. We will be off for two weeks. See you all on Monday January 7, 2019.
Homework over break:
- Read from your reading bag
- Complete some spelling activities (4 will be due on Thursday 1/10/19)
- Do your winter break packet I sent home yesterday (You will not be penalized if you don’t do this packet. However for each page you bring back completed you get a ticket for the ticket drawing. You may earn up to 4 tickets 🙂 The packets are due the Monday we come back.)
Spelling words:
churn
clerk
third
thirst
burst
dolch words
after
could
how
some
once
We will be taking NWEA again when we come back from break in January. To help your child prepare we have 2 new programs children can do from home on CLEVER to practice.
We have two new online programs students should use daily over the break. We are very fortunate that Mr. AbuRus purchased these amazing programs for our students. One is called Study Island and the other is Reading Eggs. Both are accessed through Clever. All students know how to get onto clever.
To get started on Study Island choose the Study Island icon and then press “Mi Program”, choose a subject (math, ela, or science), choose “take diagnostic test”. Have your child take the diagnostic test for each subject.
To get started on Reading Eggs choose the Reading Eggs icon, choose “Reading Eggs”, next students have a choice – take a placement test or start at lesson 1. Choose one and begin.
Students must take these diagnostic and placement tests on their own without any help.
After they complete these assessments they can go into the programs and practice (without help) daily over the break.
Thank you,
Happy holidays!
