January 19 - January 22


Thank you so much for all the snacks donations! We have finished NWEA and will now be making academic goals based on the data. There have still been some situations where computers need to be charged in the classroom. Please help your child make sure his/her computer is fully charged in the morning before leaving for school. Thanks for all your help with planners too! We are discussing as a staff the need for Valentine's Day celebrations since it falls on a Sunday. The kids have the Friday before and the Monday after off school as well. Since our Positivity Project character trait that week is LOVE, we may just do the activities from P2 for each grade level instead of a party/card exchange. I was wondering your thoughts on that? Is it a relief to take something else off your plate or would your kids be disappointed? Please let me know your thoughts because I'm torn on this. Have a great week!!

Wednesday - Late Start & Media Center

  Welcome back! I hope you all had a nice and relaxing break with your families. The snow sure was amazing on Christmas and fun to play in throughout the week. We will be jumping right in where we left off! We are working on comparing and contrasting in reading groups, finishing up unit 3 on fractions in math, learning about political scientists or government in social studies, and learning how our bodies make us human machines in science. Please remember that every Monday the Positivity Project shirts should be worn and also remember snow gear(with a change of shoes) for recess. Kids will go outside twice a day, so they need to have appropriate clothing! Please let me know if you are in need of any snow pants, boots, hats, or gloves. Thanks and have a great week!!

     I can't believe that we will already be starting the 3rd trimester in a week. The kids have been working hard to correct any weak areas before their report cards go home the week of March 8th. Please check out your child's IXL Diagnostic levels. They should start in the 400s. If the scores are lower, extra time is needed to fill the gaps in math before 5th grade. Also, Lexia scores for 4th grade are 16-18. At this point, they should be close to or on level 18. If your child is below, extra time would be so helpful. If kids need to replace the 20 minutes of reading at home with IXL or Lexia, I am ok with that. Another idea may be to work on the IXL or Lexia in the morning, especially on Wednesday late starts.        With the weather starting to warm up, kids may need to bring different clothing for recess. The morning recess tends to be colder and the ice was slippery this week. By the afternoon, they want to take their coats off and run around in t-shirts! I have asked the
