Hi everybody!  Hope everyone had a wonderful winter break!  It is never long enough...

There are a few things for this week when the kids come back so take a peek below!

Our January newsletter has been emailed out and will be sent home tomorrow in Purple folders for those who want a hard copy.  There are a few things going on this month, so please read through the newsletter.

Body Venture is a wonderful program that will be coming to our school on Tuesday, Jan. 13th.  They will be setting up a exhibit in the gym for the kids to go through to learn about the body.  The kids will get to do different stations and participate in different learning activities.  Please have your child wear socks and tennis shoes that day.  Our class will go through the exhibit 10:55-12:00.

Our school has just purchased a math program called Reflex.  It allows the kids to review their basic addition and subtraction facts so they can improve their fact recall.  We are trying to improve basic fact recall from memory instead of counting on our fingers or using other objects.  We will be using this program in grades 1-3.  The kids will be using it on the iPads and Computers during our math block.  The kids will officially start using the program on Jan, 12th, but I will be sending home a parent letter explaining all of the details of the program tomorrow, so please be looking for that.  It will have your child's personal log-in and password so that you and I can track their progress.

Thinking ahead- The second round of Parent/Teacher conferences are Wednesday, Feb. 11th 4-8 p.m. and Thursday, Feb. 12th 1-8 p.m.  I will be sending out information on those soon, as well as sign-up times.

So, not much for this week, but just wanted to put a few things in here to be looking ahead for.  If you have any questions or concerns please call or email me.  Have a wonderful week!
