Happy New Year!!!!!!

Happy New Year!!!!!! I hope that we everyone had a great holiday break!!!! Hopefully, we will be back in full swing on Wednesday. Here are just a few updates about the new semester.  Please read carefully. These changes are strategies that have been put in place as we prepare for our spring testing which I know that all of my rock stars will rock. 

Second Semester Rules

As we move into the new semester,  it is necessary to help my rock starts to rise even higher heights.  We will review a new set of rules for the spring semester.  It is time for us to be a little more dedicated to task and focused in our efforts.  These rules will come home in blue folders.  Please read and review these with your child.

Spelling

There will not be any spelling homework  due to the short week this week. Spelling homework will resume next week.

Math Homework

This week math homework will change.  Students will now have 12 problems each night instead of 10.  Please make sure that students fully complete their math homework each night.

Reading Logs and Nightly Reading

With the new semester, reading time will change from 20 minutes per night to 30 minutes per night. Please remember to have students feel out reading logs completely each night.

Weekend Homework 

In preparation for the CRCT, we will begin doing reading passage homework over the weekend. It will be given out on Friday and must be returned on Monday of the next week.  Please make sure that your child gets this homework done.

Thank you in advance for all of your help as we work toward finishing out our year with a bang.  The kids have worked so hard this year and have really displayed their brilliance.  I know that this will be reflected in their performance at the end of the year.
