Happy New Year!

This was a short week but we were able to get a lot in. Thanks for making it to our Family Friday in this frigid weather! The kids were very proud to show off their shelters with the museum blurb they wrote. We are currently working on turning this project into group presentations so keep an eye out for our videos in the upcoming weeks.

Here's what's coming next week:

• Book marks are due on Monday for our school's annual Read-a-thon. We will launch the Read-a-thon on Monday and students will be encouraged to log in their reading time at home. Please check out the packet we are sending home on Monday with more details about the event and how you can help the school with this fundraiser.
• We will be going to the Armory on Tuesday. Please dress your child for physical activity, including running shoes.
• We will have our first Dance class on Thursday! We were supposed to have it last Thursday but school was closed due to the snow storm. Students will be asked to remove their shoes and socks for safety reasons as they dance. Girls were asked not to wear tights on Dance days so that they can go sockless easily. 
• The Chapter 6 Math test will be given on Friday. This will bring to and end our first division unit. Many students have been relying on inverting multiplication facts to help them solve division facts quickly. Please encourage your child to keep reviewing the multiplication facts or to practice division facts through our math links listed in the previous post. 

Have a safe and warm weekend!
