We would like to encourage students to continue to work toward their PLP goals set in October. A major one would be memorization of math facts through XTRA math. Ask your child how they are progressing on XTRA math, and check have them log on to show you their growth!
Thank you for sharing your students with us each day! What a gorgeous day it was today!
Learning Goals:
SS: I can research information, create a presentation and quiz over a Native American tribe.
Writing: I can read and take notes on a Native American tribe.
Reading: I can infer theme in realistic fiction and write a summary.
