GOOD News for GREAT Kids
Week of: January 11-15
ELI Testing Week
phone: 369-4423 email: mkeese@dentonisd.org
We are Learning:
Math: We will continue to work on solving 2 and
3 step word problems with double and triple
digits. We will also assess the children using
the Kathy Richardson District Assessment.
Those results will come home in the 4th Six
Weeks Reports Cards later in February.
Science: We will study moon phases this week.
The students came home with a Moon Phase
Calendar last week. Please encourage them to
take a look out the window or walk to their
mailbox to take a peek at the phase of the
moon each night. Then have them draw a
picture of the moon phase and write the name
of the moon phase in the box on that calendar.
Continue to do this for a full month in order to
see the full moon phase cycle. Thanks for your
support!!
Go to this site if it’s cloudy and you can’t see
the moon:

If Your Child is Absent:
If your child is absent, please send a written excuse
with your child when he/she returns. We must have
these excuse notes the day your child returns to
school. Your phone messages and emails are helpful
in letting us know that your child will not be in for
the day. We appreciate those messages, but the
school district requires us to document excused
absences with a written note from parents that has
the dates they were absent, as well as the reason,
and parent signatures. Thank you for helping us keep
accurate attendance records for your child.
