Don't forget about our homework changes:
1. We will complete spelling practice at school
2. There will be a list of words in your child's homework folder if you would like him/her to practice at home as well.
3. Your child will continue to have math homework each week.
Let's finish strong and make each week count!!
THANK YOU for turning in your child's Summer School form! We have 100% of our forms turned in! Way to go! If you do have questions about Summer School, follow the link below.
Lexia
The students have set an end of year goal for Lexia. Ask your child what level they are on now and where they would like to be at the end of the year. I was so impressed when asked, they knew exactly where they were and set reasonable goals. Please remember that Lexia levels 6-9 are considered first grade. The majority of our students are on level 9 or above! If your child is not on 8 or 9, we suggest they use Lexia at home 20-30 minutes 3-4 times a week. Let's put the iPads to good use!
