Week of 1/11

We got so good at having pencil mustaches!

 

Dear Parents,

Thanks for a great virtual week! The kids were great, but I am happy to be back in school! We will continue to work on being self starters and gaining independence during this second half of the year! Here are the reminders for this week:

- Homework will start this week! It would be great to set a up a homework routine with your child this week. The kids should be able to open their homework copybook and find the pages in each workbook. They should also try to read the directions on the pages or worksheets independently and start their work. I know this might take a little more time in the beginning and maybe even cause some frustration, but it is a great way to build independence. Of course, if your child needs help, please help them, but know that the more they try to do by themselves the better off they will be. They should also be responsible for putting their books back in their schoolbag!

- The sight words and spelling words will also increase from 8 to 10 this week! They have been doing an excellent job with these!

- There will be a Religion test on Chapter 8 on Wednesday.

- Wednesday is a Dress Down Day for the Remar family. Please send in $1.00 to dress down and continue to keep the Remar's in your prayers. 

- There is no school on Friday. A few asynchronous activities to complete.

- There is no school on Monday, January 18th for MLK Day.

- Our class will be collecting items for the MLK Day Bags of Service. Once our class is assigned the item I will email you! If you would also like to make a "bag a service," they can be picked up at school on MLK Day between 10am and 12:00pm.  The flyer was attached to the weekly email!
