Hello,

Hope you enjoyed the extra time with your kids and had a great holiday break. Thank you for the gifts. I sent students a thank you card on the last day, but just in case they lost it, “thank you”. I must say, they were much more focused and on task today than the last week of school before the break:) It was good to see them in learning mode. I sent home a math quiz they took. Some had a hard time, perhaps it was due to the upcoming break, so I had all of them redo it with me. We focused on what they didn’t do that caused them to lose points and then explicit instructions of how it needs to be done in the future. We will be starting NWEA next week. We will be taking them on Tuesday(math) and Thursday(reading), so make sure they get a good night’s sleep on Monday and Wednesday 😉

Library Books are due every Tuesday- there have been several weeks that have gone by with the same students consistently not returning their library book. Please ask your child where his/her book is and if they say lost, can you help them look for it. I will ask the librarian to print up sheets for the ones who don’t bring them back tomorrow. That way you can see what book it is and if you have lost it, the price that needs to be paid so that they can start checking out books again.

Have a great evening!
