The Week of October 27th

  The Weekly Newsletter


Ellis Media Center 

Book Character Tissue Box Challenge

This week, students can decorate (and donate) a tissue box as their favorite book character. Every student who brings a decorated tissue box to the Media Center will be entered into a drawing for a gift certificate to the book fair in December!



Dia de los Muertos

This week, we encourage each student to bring in a picture of a deceased family member to contribute to our ofrenda (altar).
The ofrenda will serve as a beautiful tribute, allowing us to celebrate the lives and memories of those we cherish. Please ensure that the pictures are labeled with the name of the person and the relationship to your child, as we want to honor each individual appropriately. Thank you!


Weekly Math Fact Practice 

  Students took their first one minute timed test on Friday. If they met the goal, they received new fact families to practice this week. If not, don’t worry—they’ll continue practicing the same three until they do. They are encouraged to beat their score from the previous week. Students will see how much they improve every week! The goals: 1st-10 correct per minute, 2nd-15 correct per minute, and 3rd-25 correct per minute. Below is an  example of the weekly math fact practice expectations at home.
