I can't believe it is the last week of September already! The kids did a great job taking their first tests last week. We talked about how the important thing is not that you get a 100 on every test, but that they tried their best. We talk a lot about giving it our best and learning from our mistakes. Thanks for sharpening the pencils and washing their picnic towels over the weekend!
Notes for the Week:
- Your child's login information for all of our apps will be sent home later this week in their 'H' folder. Please keep this in a safe place. They may access the apps at home to practice reading and math. You can also check out everything we have been doing on Seesaw. Please note that we are still waiting for the full services of the app to come through so with all of the activities we have completed so far, they are unable to make corrections yet.. Eventually, I will be able to check and send back for corrections.
- Test folders will be sent home on Tuesday. Please sign each test and return on Wednesday. All tests will remain in their "T" for Test folder.
- We will start making our math flash cards this week since we did not get to it last week. Please have your child review them along with their sight words and spelling words each night!
- We will have our first math test on Friday. We will be reviewing in school all week. At home, please review the addition flashcards and the vocabulary words: addend, addend, sum and part, part, whole.
Have a great week!
