Highlight of the Week
Website of the Week
In Math Bingo, kids complete math equations by tapping to mark the correct answers on a 5x5 bingo card. There are two primary goals for Math Bingo: to answer the questions correctly and to mark five answers in a line for a "bingo" as quickly as possible. The equations appear at the top of the screen, and visual feedback for each attempt is at the bottom. A simple bell or buzzer indicates whether the answer is correct. Math Bingo can be a good way to get kids to practice their arithmetic. Multiple difficulties levels for each game type can challenge kids.
It's Cold Outside!
Please make sure your child is dressed appropriately for outside play. If we feel that any student is not dressed appropriately, we will have him/her stay inside during recess. Under the district’s cold weather policy, we can go outside if the temperature and/or wind chill is above 36 degrees for 15 minutes and above 45 degrees for 30 minutes. Because our weather can change from unseasonably warm to freezing cold very quickly, please always send your child to school with a jacket.

January is School Board Recognition Month, a great time to focus on the crucial role an elected board of trustees plays in our communities and schools! Our theme this year is "Helping Kids Soar to Success."The School Board Meeting is January 22, 7 p.m. Let's show our school board how much they are appreciated!
What we are learning about next week...
Math: I can explain that fractional parts have special names that tell how many parts are needed to make the whole and that the more fractional parts that are used to make the whole, the smaller the parts.
Reading: I can use what I know about text structure to make predictions about what will happen next.
Writing: I can ask relevant questions about a topic or event.
Social Studies: I can discuss similarities and differences in customs and show components of time and chronology (past, present, future).
Science: I can identify and discuss how different forms of energy such as light, heat, and sound are important to everyday life.
