Reading: Students should be reading their class books from their reading group. Also, students should be sticking to their 45 mins per week or 20 minutes per day on iReady.

Math: Please aim for 45 minutes per week or 20 mins per day on Zearn.

I am sending home a “Winter Break” Packet with reading and math activities to continue to build students’ skills while we are gone. The first page is a Winter Break Reading Challenge page that encourages students to read in 30 minute increments. The second and third pages focus on reading skills and the last page focuses on multiplication in Math. The reading challenge (first page) will be extra credit, the rest of the packet will be due on Tuesday after we get back.

Have a safe and enjoyable break with friends and family and enjoy the Holidays if you are celebrating them! 🙂

It costs $1.00 per day to participate. I will be collected the money in class. Money goes towards raising money for the Children of Yemen.

It’s our final week before Winter Break…let’s make it count!

Here are some news/reminders for this week:

1. This week is Spirit Week. If students choose to participate it costs $1 each day. There will be an envelope in my room to collect the money for Spirit Week. I will post the schedule tomorrow morning.
2. Arabic School Registration this Friday from 2p-5pm in the Main Lobby
3. NO SCHOOL Dec.22 – Jan. 6 for WINTER BREAK!
4. For homework over break, students should still be completing their 20 mins a day for iReady AND Zearn. It will help them continue to build stronger Reading and Math skills to be ready to come back to school in the new year- 2019!

The focus for this week will be wrapping up Social Studies and Math, so students will be taking a test in both subject areas on Thursday and Friday. Study guides will be sent home and time will be spent reviewing the important concepts in class. It is best that we are able to come back from winter break with fresh learning!

Thank you for your continued support as we make our way through this school year. It seems as though time is flying by!
