Weekly Update (A Little Late!)

 Hi Parents!

Happy Tuesday! Sorry for the late post. I had scheduled this to post while I was away, but for some reason it didn’t. Anyway, I have just a couple updates for you below. 

Homework folders and Agendas

Hopefully by now you have seen your child’s new homework folder. I have given them a safe place to organize and keep their homework, papers and study guides. In that folder, you will find a paper where they are to write their assignments each day, if they don’t have an actual agenda. I am hoping this will make the students more accountable for their due dates, and assignments. This is a skill they will need for years to come.

Study Guides

This week your child will bring home a study guide for Chapter 5 of VA Studies- The Revolutionary War and the study guide for our Factors and Multiples unit. Please check their homework folder for these. The VA studies one came home today. The math one will come home tomorrow (Wednesday). The test dates are written at the top of each study guide. 

Electronics/ Stuffed Animal Day

Recently our class filled our golden paw chart for being AMAZING! We spun the wheel and won stuffed animal/ electronics day! I have blocked out some time on Friday afternoon to let the class redeem this reward. They may bring in a stuffed animal and/or an electronic device to play. I ask that they do not bring cell phones, as those are not permitted as approved electronics. A few ideas include ipads and portable games. Your child is responsible for whatever electronics they bring in. If you do not have an electronic device that you want your child to bring in, they are welcome to play on their ChromeBooks one of the many LCPS approved games. Please let me know if you have any questions about this reward. 

Treasure Box

I am sure you have heard that we have a class treasure box! The students can earn a trip here by taking their time on their work, going above and beyond, or are caught showing the 3R’s by a teacher. However, our class treasure box is running low on goodies! If you have any small party favors or treasure box type goodies laying around, please consider donating them to our class treasure box. Most of the stuff in there I often get from The Dollar Store, Target Dollar Spot and Amazon, so it doesn’t have to be anything too elaborate. The kids are so grateful to just get to pick something! 

Focus Areas for the Week After Break:

• Reading:  Wrapping up our Biography unit. 

• Math:  We will continue with our unit on Factors and Multiples.

•  VA Studies:  Begin Chapter 5- The Revolutionary War. The study guide went home today! The test will be on or about Wednesday, March 16th.

I hope you have a As always, I welcome your questions, comments, and feedback.
