I hope everyone is staying warm and enjoying the holiday season. We are doing a good job staying focused at school- even while I was away for Jury Duty (I did not get selected to serve on trial-it was a very interesting experience though!)
Project Care: Project Care was a huge success! Thank you to everyone for donating travel sized items to be packaged and given to our Buddy School- Cross Trainers Academy in Milwaukee. It felt so wonderful to do something kind for others. Thank you families for supporting our project!
Keyboarding: We're working really hard trying to learn the online position (home row) and the correct finger movements for each letter/symbol. We'll be continuing keyboarding daily after the break then we'll work on it about once a week for the rest of the year. Please encourage your child to use the correct key s at home instead of "pecking" with their index finger.Math Homelinks: In this unit and some upcoming units, the homelinks will ask your child to bring in materials to be used in class or cut out items from a magazine/newspaper. If you don't have the materials needed, just talk with your child about what materials you might use. It is fine if your child cannot complete the task due to materials.
Ask Your Child:
What are parallel lines?
What does it mean to infer while reading?
Why do you have a Packer tent in your classroom?
What book is Mrs. Dahms reading aloud? Who are the characters and what is the problem?
Which hand is the hour hand?
