December 2017
Good morning parents and students,
This month has flown by! This week marks the end of our 2017 portion of the school year. We will have a two week break from school, returning January 8th, 2018.
Students will be receiving a winter break homework packet to be completed during our time off. This packet will be filled with reading and math worksheets to practice skills we have already been working on so far this school year. Please be sure to encourage your student to work on the packet a little bit everyday.
Please be sure your student is reading for at least 20 minutes a day during the break. Use the comprehension questions in the Book Bags to build comprehension skills. Rereading the books will help with accuracy and fluency. Practice addition and subtraction math facts at home, as well.
We will be NWEA testing a couple weeks after we return from our break. Students need to continue practicing their fluency and stamina by reading at home, in addition to all the reading at school. This will help get students closer to grade level, and beyond, in reading.
I hope you all have a wonderful break. Be safe, and have fun!
Here is a picture of my kids with Santa. Hannah is only 1 1/2 and is terrified of Santa this year! 🙂
