This last site has some links that are useful for NWEA practice questions!

NEVER leave children unattended on the computer, especially for educational purposes. As with our homework, ALL work should be completed together and monitored!

Some of these are paid sites and some offer free trials with limited usage. Please do as much as you can. These sites are excellent online practice for weekends and vacations!

Safety of our Children

Dear Families,

I hope this finds you all in perfect health. We are reviewing proper hand washing, coughing, sneezing catches, and zero touching our faces and our friends. Please continue this at home to keep our kids healthy! The building is also taking extra measure to ensure a sanitized/clean class room for everyone!

Thank you and Be WELL!!!!

Reading at home!

This will be coming home in your child’s folder today. Please use these question prompts to help guide you at home when discussing books with your student! Reaching our grade level reading goal does not just mean your child can read the words in the book, but they should also be able to comprehend what they are reading! You may also use these questions as a writing prompt! Remember- you should be working WITH your child while reading at home. These tasks may be too difficult to complete independently, but with your support they can be so much more successful!
