Science Fair
There is an information letter about this Science Fair coming home in this Friday folder. We talked about the Science Fair in class today, so your child should have a decent understanding of what’s expected. My goal is to make sure it is a worthwhile project, while also keeping it stress-free and low-key. We will be doing some of the work in class, but the actual testing for your child’s project will be done at home. Please read over the information and let me know if you have any questions.
Whiteboard Markers
Each child has a mini-whiteboard at their seat in which we use for math practice and a variety of other things. Many students have lost their whiteboard marker or it has run out of ink. It would be amazing if you could buy your child a couple of whiteboard markers (if you are able). I would very much appreciate it!
IXL
Please continue to utilize the IXL website. Your child has been given a username and password and can enjoy unlimited access to the site. It provides wonderful practice to improve skills and help prepare for the upcoming MSP in May. Your child can practice on this site both from home and at school, and it is well worth their time.
Silverwood Reading Program
Remember to be documenting your child’s reading minutes on the Silverwood Tally Sheets. 600 minutes earns them a free Silverwood ticket. The sheets are due back to school by March 13, 2013. Let me know if you have any questions.
Valentine’s Party
This will be taking place on the afternoon of February 14th at approximately 12:30. If your child chooses to make valentines, please have them do so for each student.
