Thank you for taking time out of your day to discuss your student's 1st quarter progress. We look forward to continuing that growth in the second quarter.
Also, thank you for any books that were purchased at the Scholastic Book Fair last week!

The bonus word of the week is flabbergasted. It was missing on one side of the sheet.
Character Formation Story: Pharaoh Does Not Obey
Word of the Week: INTEGRITY - God's power for you to be true to Him and yourself.
Memory Verse: 1 Corinthians 15:58
58 Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain.
Focus Question: How can you do what God wants you to do when others tell you not to?
Art: Please see the amazing art work hanging in the hallway for all to enjoy!
Reading: Reading groups with teachers are going great! We are working on reading comprehension and fluency. You can see your child's work in their reading notebook behind the "Group Book" tab. Sometimes your child will have an assignment that they will need to complete during the week. Students should bring their reading notebook home to mark that they have spent time reading five out of seven nights for at least 20 minutes. This weekend students will need a parent signature as part of a completion grade in reading. There is a grading checklist your student has started in class, please help them use the checklist at home so they are ready to turn in notebooks on Monday.
Students are working on building their reading stamina. It is always helpful to talk about what they are reading at home.
Math: Students are encouraged to practice math facts at home, especially multiplication. They should be able to say their multiplication facts as quickly as possible from memory. Please work on these throughout the year.
Students will have investigation 2, lesson 21 and a test #3 this week on Thursday.

In class, students were given a specific username and password to an online math program that aligns perfectly with our math curriculum. Please have your student login at home using a computer, tablet, or a cell phone. You will be able to download the app from your app store for free. The usernames and passwords are in your student's planner and were sent home on Friday.

In case students forget to bring home their math book, here is an online version. If there are measuring questions they will need to use their math book to complete those questions.
