JANUARY 18 - JANUARY 22

I hope you are all enjoying the day off on Monday. Thank you to all that participated in bringing in money for Haiti. It was appreciated very much. And the students loved having free dress.

Curriculum remains the same. There are two areas that all of the students should be working on. One is math facts, both addition and subtraction. Some students are improving, but some are not. Flash cards should be used on a nightly basis. Encourage your children to memorize the math fact. They should not be using their fingers. The answer should be automatic. Another area in math that your child should be working on is counting by 10's, 5's and 2's. Lots of the children already know how to do this, but some do not. The second area is vocabulary. There are some students who are unsure of the vocabulary words when asked to read them. The vocabulary reflects the workbook packet grades. Many of those pages they are required to read independently. Thank you for your help in both of these areas.

Your child should have come home with his\her topic on Kenya. We are starting to learn about the country, the flag, the tribes, the weather, etc. Your children are excited about it.
