End of the Marking Period – is this Friday 1/17. All assignments must be turned in by this date or they will be marked as a zero. Zeros will greatly affect your students report card grades. Pleases check Parent Connect. I have put in all assignments that I have been shown. Please read the notes in Parent Connect, if they don’t have a score then sometimes I have asked them to redo it or they never turned it in. When they turn in work late on the computer they need to show it to me or send me a message that it is complete and I will grade it. If you need help finding an assignment please let me know.
1/2 day Friday 1/17 – dismissal at 11:45
NWEA testing – we will begin NWEA testing on January 21st. Remember that the NWEA test is used along with the MSTEP for the new read by 3rd grade law. It is very important if your signed a contract for your student that they do well on these tests. Please make sure they are practicing the IXL every day for a minimum of 20 minutes if they have signed the contract.
IXL Challenge and Party– Pleases remember your students should be practicing their IXL challenge each day for a minimum of 15 minutes. We will be having a party next week for all the students who have complete there 30 skills. Right now I only have 6 students who have completed. I need parent volunteers to provide treats for our party or maybe pizza. Please send me a Class Dojo message if you can bring something and what you are able to bring. If I don’t get more students who finish then I may need a parent helper to take the students to a different location for their party. Hopefully, everyone will get to join us.
Next week’s Star of the Week – Mahdi K. He will make a poster board (NOT foam board) for Monday, bring a favorite book on Tuesday, bring sharing on Wednesday, and invite a guest to lunch on Thursday. Friday have the star’s parent writes a letter about why they are so special to them. The days maybe switched around except the poster board. Only one thing per day. Sophia’s Star of the Week will start on 1/27 since we have several days off.
Movie Night – is coming up at the end of the month. There will be a PTA meeting next Thursday after school to discuss the details. If you are able to help please come to the meeting or send me an email.
Sky Dome – we had a wonderful presentation today at school. It was a blow up planetarium. Students learned about the galaxies, solar system, each planet, the moon and the constellations. We had quite a bit of talking during the presentation. Please remind your students they need to be respectful of adults and not talk while they are presenting to them.
Thanks to all the chaperones who came on our trip yesterday.
