Week 29: Happy Spring Recess!

We are off from school from March 30th to April 8. We will return to school on Monday, April 9th, which is two days before the ELA. some families have attended the testing meetings and reached out to ask about how best to help their child be ready. Here are some suggestions:

• The best thing kids can do over the vacation is to read just-right books daily. In class, we discussed keeping up our reading stamina in order to help us stay focused when we sit down to work on the test. Students should try to read for ten minutes more than their usual times or around forty minutes. 
• Kids were asked to shop for books to take home this Thursday. Some students opted to just stick with book from home. It would be great to read a mixture of fiction and nonfiction texts. 
• Once the school week begins, it is important to stick with a consistent bedtime so that your child can be well rested. Encourage your child to eat a nutritious breakfast before coming to school. 

There was no homework assigned over the break. If you would like for your child to keep up their math learning during this week, please have them check out the links below:
