Dear families,
Thank you for your generous donations for our Winter celebration! The students made edible marshmallow snowmen and had a wonderful time!
Great news! The students will be able to access Study Island over Winter Break. If you are not familiar with the program, it is great for students to practice previously taught material at home. All you have to do is log in through clever.com for Henrico County and then use the student log in information that is located in the front of your child’s agenda. I have assigned a Reading and a Math activity for practice and told the students that if they pass both activities with a seventy or higher that I will give them five dojo points when they return to school in January!
When we come back to school on Tuesday, January 2, 2018 we will be learning about fact and opinion in Reading. The students will have a Reading test on Wednesday, January 3 and a Science Test on Solar System on Thursday, January 5.
In Math we will be studying fractions for the next three weeks. In VA Studies we will be learning about how the new nation of the United States of America formed the Constitution.
Please know that as long as the outdoor temperature is 32 degrees or warmer and it is not raining we will have outside recess. PLease make sure your child is dressed for the weather outdoors when they come to school. Our administration has asked that we do not allow students to go outside without proper outerwear. You can let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
Upcoming events:
Wednesday, Jan. 3-Reading power test
Thursday, Jan. 4-Solar system unit test
Friday, Jan. 5-Vocabulary test
Wednesday, Jan. 10-Field trip St. John’s Church, look for permission slips on Tuesday.
Have a wonderful holiday and Happy New Year!
