Welcome back January 2020

I hope you have relaxed and had a great winter break. This week will have minor challenges as we are adjusting to coming back to school after a 2-week break. Homework will resume on Friday. Students are encouraged to visit my blog <click Math games> and practice math facts for 10 minutes a day this week. Beginning next week, practice a few days a week.

Students are allowed to submit Reading challenge hours to me by Wednesday morning, 1/8/2020 or via email.
Submit the following:

Student's name and hours read. The challenge was 7 hours over 15 days; however, I am receiving all hours read to make a fair assessment of the challenge for 3rd graders. 

University of Michigan will begin its interviews during lunch hours and 9:20- 10:20 AM on Tuesdays for students who turned in consent forms for the Empowerment program teaching social emotional skills for students. There is one more form that needs to be signed by those families. It will be sent home immediately and to be returned as soon as possible.

Please remind students that toys are not permitted at school; however, I allow slime and other fidget items to aide with calming and attention. I have been decluttering my home and I am gifting small toys/ trinkets to a special treat bin. Upon having his or her name pulled by selection, the item will be sent home. (FYI)
