Work Plans
Work plans go home every Friday. Please sign your child's work plan and return the following week. These go home every week to inspire conversation about what your child is doing in school.
Amira Testing
Students will be completing Amira testing this week. If your child has access to a device at home, they can practice reading with the Amira tutor by logging in to Classlink and choosing the Amira icon. This activity should take about 5 minutes a day.
Homework
The lower elementary classes have the following homework expectations:
Read for 20 minutes each night, either independently or with family members.
If you have access to technology at home, your child can follow their i-Ready learning path.
Math facts (addition, subtraction, multiplication or division)
Welcome Vega!
Thanks to the Bhonsle Family, our class is now caring for the guinea pig Vega!
The classrooms can be cool at times. It is a great idea to send a sweater or sweatshirt, labeled your child's on the tag, in their bookbag. According to administration, students will not be allowed to wear hoodies in school.
Please send in a water bottle labeled with your child's name for them to keep at school throughout the week for when they get thirsty. The weather is HOT and the children can become extremely thirsty at recess and throughout the day.
Please be sure to login to PowerSchool and sign your student's technology permission slip. You may also want to purchase a protection plan. It is highly recommended that the computers remain at school where they can remain fully charged and ready for use each day at school.
This year, the children will be traveling to explorations on Tuesday mornings. Be sure to send your child to school in shoes that will work well for them in P.E. For those new to the school, the children have art, music, PE, Spanish, Technology, and Engineering with the exploration teachers in one morning each week.
