Good afternoon Haigh families and Happy New Year! I hope everyone had an amazing and well deserved break. It sure did fly, but I have to say, I am happy to say goodbye to 2020. Hoping 2021 is kinder to us all!.
This week we will get back into our routine. I am sure we will all be a little sleepy, but it will be nice to be back. Before break we were discussing the government of Michigan and why it is important. To conclude our unit, on Monday morning we will be going on a “Virtual” field trip to see the state capital in Lansing. Students should hop on Zoom at 9:00 am and we will “leave” for our trip at 9:15. I will share the link in the chat at that time 🙂
This week we will begin our new unit in reading which is about comparing points of view. Your child will need the new book that was passed out at the last materials sign up.
We will continue our unit on multiplication and division 6-10 this week. Monday we will review concepts from before break. We will be skipping and combining a few lessons so please do not be alarmed if some pages are blank in your child’s Learn and Succeed books. I plan to finish up this unit by the end of the week. We will test early next week. Please have your child practice their skip counting by listening to the songs on Schoology under the resources tab.
The week of January 11th we will begin NWEA and DRA testing again. We will be doing all of this testing virtually so please stay tuned for more information about how this will work. I plan to make a schedule for DRA testing for the afternoon in place of learning labs. Again, I will share this with you once I have it all sorted out.
Reminders for the week:
- Schedule will remain the same for reading and math zoom times as well as learning labs/reading groups in the afternoon
- Monday morning we will be going on a “Virtual” field trip to see the state capital in Lansing. Students should hop on Zoom at 9:00 am and we will “leave” for our trip at 9:15. I will share the link in the chat at that time 🙂
