Trash Treasure Project

Due April 12th

We are learning how important it is to take care of our earth. We need to reduce, reuse, and recycle our "trash".

Your project is to make a sculpture, invention, or create something useful out of trash. It should be something you would proudly display or use in your home.

Let your imagination soar!

IXL Homework

Please have your child log in to IXL EVERY Wednesday night (or more!) to complete a minimum of 15 minutes math practice.

*Next year, the children will be expected to complete homework nightly and while I understand that weeknights can be hectic... it is an important habit and attitude to develop in your child now.

Homework for the REMAINDER OF THE YEAR

To simplify the process and to make the homework more routine, please be aware that as long as there is school the homework will be:

Daily- 
1) read 15 minutes and log on monthly chart
2) practice word wall words (aka sight words) for weekly spelling and overall recognition by sight... if they can spell them, they can read them!
3) practice math facts, even for just a minute or two

Monday- 15-20 minutes reading (not listening) on RAZkids (counts towards daily reading assignment), minimum of 2 comprehension quizzes

Wednesday- 15 minutes on IXL- specific assignment details will continue to be emailed

ALSO, CHILDREN AND PARENTS ARE HIGHLY ENCOURAGED TO HONE THEIR DIGITAL LITERACY SKILLS FROM HOME BY ADDING POSTS AND/ OR COMMENTS (APPROPRIATE AND SCHOOL OR ACADEMIA RELATED) TO THE KIDBLOG FROM HOME.

Leprechaun Traps

Don't forget to be working on those leprechaun traps! They are due by the 15th so that they can be left set over the weekend just in case we get some mischievous visitors on Saint Patrick's Day.
