This week the WASC/WCEA Accreditation visitation team will be on campus. Remind your children to be friendly and to answer any questions that they might be asked.
Your children seem to be back into the swing of school. Report cards went home on Friday. Also included was the SLE assessment. They both need to be signed and returned by Thursday, January 17.
You should be aware that there are no longer challenge words in spelling. The challenge now is dictation. Your children did quite well for the first time. You can help your child at home by giving them dictation sentences. Some should be telling sentences and some should be questions. Everything in the sentence must be correct in order to get a point. You can also ask your child to use words and hand motions to tell you what a sentence is.
I hope your child was able to tell you with words and hand motions what addition is. A new hand motion will be in place this week as we continue in subtraction.
