Week of 4/24 - 4/28


Supplemental Online Helpers

  • Parents, don't forget to log onto GreatMinds. Remember that Homework Helpers and Parent Tip Sheets are provided for each module that is covered in class and the lessons within them. This is a great aid to you as the parent when you sit with your child and help them with homework.
  • iReady is an online tool that works at your child's pace and level. It works towards slowly increasing skill development in both math and reading. I ask parents to have their child work on it daily if possible (especially those whom their child is struggling to meet academic standards) for a simple 20 minutes. 
  • IXL is another great reinforcement tool that can be used at home with your child. Both ELA and Math can be practiced on a weekly bases by your child.
  • Superkids Online Portal is available to students at home to practice their sound blending in order to read words and sentences. Both online games and books can be accessed for reinforcement.
Reminders
  1. iReady homework from the break should have been completed, it will be checked and grades will be put in this week. I will not except any assignments late since children were given ample time to complete all assignments. Same thing goes for the packets sent home. Thanks!
  2. Please make sure your child's seat sack has been washed and is brought back in on Monday morning.
  3. Class schedules have changed, but Monday's will remain as our gym day. Please make sure your child is dressed in full gym uniform on Mondays.
  4. Snack time has been changed from 1:15 pm to 10:30 am since lunch time has been changed and pushed to 12:45 pm. So if you'd like to send your child a healthy and nutritional snack (fruits, yogurt, cereal) that's appropriate for the morning time, you may.
  5. Computer classes have been changed to Tuesday and Thursday and iReady will continue to be used and enforced.
  6. Our class is running low on supplies, so I ask parents to please help and bring in 1 box of tissues, 1 bottle of hand sanitizer and 1 container of Clorox Disinfecting wipes. Thanks in advance!
  7. Students will have a Progress Test in reading on Thursday - you may review with them the letters Mm and Nn.
