I hope you all enjoyed your break. I am looking forward to seeing the kids again tomorrow. I missed them!

I am attaching a few pictures from our end of the year school sing-a-long. Two students from our class, Houda Hamka and Noor Fawaz generously gifted their hair at the Locks For Love event during the sing-a-long. This takes not only a very loving, generous heart, but also courage and I am so very proud of both of them! 🙂

As we begin, 2020, I want to say again how very blessed I feel. I have such a sweet, kind, smart group of kids this year! Thank you all for being such great parents. I’d also like to take a moment to thank all of you who donated time and contributed to our end of the year holiday party. The kids loved it!

This week we will be getting back into the swing of things. I will give you a rundown of each subject along with some reminders.

Math: Your child will be bringing home the results of the Mid-Module Unit 3 test that was taken the last week of school. We will be starting the second half of module 3 tomorrow. It focuses on the 7s, 8s, and 9s multiplication tables. If your child is still struggling with 2s-6s please please practice at home. Thank you! 🙂 Multiplication quizzes will begin this month.

Reading: We will be doing whole group close reading this week in preparation for the NWEA reading test.

Writing: We are writing an informational piece comparing ourselves to the 3 Fires Native American tribes.

Social Studies: We will begin our study of how Michigan became a state.

Science: We will start a short unit on severe weather this week.

As of right now, I am planning on having the reading portion of the NWEA test on Thursday of this week in the morning.
