Parents,
In Social Studies below, there are some guiding questions to ask your child tonight about what he/she has been learning. These are optional, but are meant to be ways that you can help engage in conversation with your child about what is being taught in the classroom. Being able to teach others is one of the best ways to strengthen understanding.
Reminders:
TAP - Please send in a note if you are interested in more information on this after school tutoring program.
Art Shirts - Due by next week.
Book Orders for Mrs. Dressel - Due by next Friday (Online code GJLYC)
Home Connect - Use your child's AR login information to access this great site to monitor progress with AR, AM (Accelerated Math), and Math Facts in a Flash. Look in the top right corner for a place to enter your email. You will get an email of his/her results after taking an AR quiz, or completing an AM assignment.
Have a great evening,
Mrs. Dressel and Mr. Pransky
Read your AR book for 15-20 minutes each night
