January 6 2017

Dear Families,   

Welcome back!  I hope you had some wonderful family time during the break.  The kids have been telling me about the travels and adventuresJ.   Now, “Nose to the Grindstone” and off we go:

Homework:

Spelling: The new workbook for lesson 14 went home today. Test Friday               

Math:  Next week, we will practicing multiplication 0-10’s.   The mixed test on multiplication 0-10 will be Friday, the 13^th.  The nice thing about being this far with math facts is any deck of cards can be used to practiceJ.

Passport:  The maps went home the week before Christmas, and other copy today.  The test is January 26^th. 

Reading/LA:   Read Read Read! A new calendar went home today. 

Key boarding 2-3 times a week.  I am afraid that I need to clarify something.  The expectation is that the students will be done with lesson 10 by the end of the semester, January 24.  However, I didn’t explain that the expectation is the 10 lessons AND THE TESTS THAT GO WITH THEM need to be done. So, I need to have scores or verification for the 4 tests from you if they finish tests at home.
