Hello students and families – when you come in today to pick up your things, you will find a Matilda book with a new notebook on your desk.
-Please take these books because I will have weekly assignment posted for you every Monday for you to complete for the week. You will have one week to complete these assignments until the following Monday when a new assignment will be posted.
-Students are also to continue to read 20 minutes every night and get their reading logs signed. When you come to the classroom to pick up the books and things, you can bring books home from our classroom library – as long as you bring them back to school with you in April 🙂
-I am also asking that students work in their Practice, Learn and Succeed books so that they do not forget any content they have already learned.
-Please also practice your multiplication facts and use Zearn.
Whoa! I will miss all of my students – please have a good and safe month. Do not forget to wash your hands for 20 seconds and do not touch your face! Stay healthy, families!
