Next Year's Calendar

Conferences and Half Days

Report cards will come home on Tuesday. The comments section will look a little differently this term. I have tried to focus on identifying accomplishments/ strengths and goals for the remainder of the year. I found that by altering the format I was able to fit more specific information in that small space!

Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday are conferences. Please return confirmation slips ASAP!

Conference days are half days. There will be no lunch served so please plan accordingly. Children may bring in a larger snack than usual, especially if they will not reach their destination and have lunch until later.

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.
