- PICK-UP AND DROP-OFF CHANGES: The traffic for pick-up and drop off will change starting Wednesday!! (N. York will be ONE WAY in front of the school) There was a note sent home today with most classes, but our class was already in ART by the time it was put in mailboxes. The note will come home tomorrow, but Click here to read about the changes starting on Wednesday.
- Math books: students brought home the math workbooks we used for Modules 1-3. We are all done with those. You are welcome to have students go through and do the pages we skipped, or you can recycle them, LOL, but I don’t want them to come back to school.
- Reading Calendars: Some students do a monthly reading calendar because it was discussed at conferences. Today I had about 10 students who asked to bring it home because they want to do it. The process is easy, please sign each day that your child reads for at least 20 minutes. Students who return the calendar on Feb. 1st with at least 18 days signed will earn something small. This is not mandatory for most students.
- Headphones: Please ask your child about their headphones. We have some that are not working and some students with no headphones (or earbuds) at all. It may seem like a silly thing to worry about, but we use our headphones every day when we are in Daily 5 and we often use them during math also. If anyone is willing to donate a pair of headphones (not earbuds) that we can keep as “extra”, that would be totally amazing!!!
- Reading groups: Each of my groups will get a new book this week, but groups may not meet on their normal schedule because we will also begin DRA testing.
- Pics: just a few pictures from before break:
