Sight Words and Words Their Way.
We will be resuming when we return. We will also be regrouping students and working on new spelling patterns.
Reading/Social Studies
Please continue to read at home for at least 20 minutes each night. It is fun to incorporate seasonal family reads during this time of year. Also, Istation will be available during the holidays. We would appreciate it if your child logged in a few times during the break.
Math - We are starting a new unit which will focus on addition and subtraction of sums and differences within 20. We will be working on improving the children's number fluency with both operations.
Science - We will be learning about earth science when we get back. If you get a chance to visit any local museums, spend some time in the geology area.
Cold and Flu season is HERE!
Your child’s health is of great importance. It is that time of year when colds, flu and viruses run wild in schools, churches, and other public places. We will take every precaution to have a healthy and safe environment. Please consider getting a flu shot for yourself and your child. Having the flu is not any fun and can be life threatening for young children.
We would like you to consider keeping your child home if they have fever, diarrhea and vomiting. It is requested that students be symptom free for 24 hours before returning to school. Please don't give your child a fever reducer and send them to school. Our bodies create a fever to fight viruses and to give us a warning that we are sick. When you send a child to school sick you will be impacting 20 plus families in addition to the teachers and their families. Teachers don't like missing days of school due to illness.
If your child becomes ill while at school, we will take them to the school nurse. The nurse will evaluate your child and will contact you to let you know if you need to pick your child up. Please keep in mind the only person on campus that can give any medication is our school nurse.
Weather and Clothing
Please make sure your child is dressed appropriately. If you send sweaters or jackets, please make sure you have written your child’s name on the tag or in the article of clothing. We are still planning on going outside unless it is raining or snowing.
