Hello,
This is a brief newsletter with a few important dates. There is no school on Friday (Jan. 15)
because teachers have meetings all day. There is no school on Monday, January 18, because of
Martin Luther King Day.
We have a social studies test on Thursday. Today your student is bringing home study
materials. I recommend reviewing part of it today, and part of it on Wednesday. The study
guide has answers on the last page. I suggest sitting with your child and asking them the
questions while you check their answers.
We also have our usual spelling work due on Thursday, and our usual spelling test.
We have been reading and writing fables, have been making connections with stories that we
read, and have been learning more about place value through 100's in math. The kids have been
great about being inside so much this week. I'm hoping the weather will warm a bit, so they can
run outside and burn off some energy!
Thanks,
Robin Kern
