A Note from the Principal
Websites
Often, parents/guardians ask me for suggestions on ways that they can
help their children at home. Of course, my first suggestion is to have
them read more, but there are also many good websites that are fun,
challenging and informative for elementary students. Some websites that
I would recommend are everydaymathonline.com, studyisland.com,
freerice.com and learnzillion.com.
Our school subscribes to both the Study Island and the Everyday Math
online websites. All students have a password for Everyday Math and
students in grades three through five have a Study Island password. The
other two websites are free and they have a lot to offer students. Free
Rice is dedicated to ending hunger worldwide and they donate 10 grains
of rice for every question that a student answers correctly. LearnZillion is
a Gates Foundation funded website that gives students and families
access to short videos on a variety of subjects. If your child is not sure
how to find the area of a triangle or determine the theme of a poem,
LearnZillion is the place to go.
When the cold weather keeps us inside, these websites are great places to
explore.
Read a Thon starts
January 26th – February 3rd.
Reading can take you places…
even on field trips!
The Hull PTO proudly supports “Cozy Up
With a Book” Month by announcing our
10th annual Read-A-Thon beginning
January 28th – February 3rd. All children
grades K-5 may participate. Students are
encouraged (but not required) to ask
friends and family members to sponsor
them for reading. The idea is the more
they read the more they earn. All funds
earned will go into the PTO general fund,
which supports field trips and activities for
all Jacobs’ school students. Look for
more information and pledge sheets on
January 25th.
Kindergarten Registration Week
January 28th – February 1st
The lost and found items
are multiplying. Please
encourage your child to
take a look through our
lost and found.
