EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUITY--STUDY HALL
I want to inform you about an educational opportunity that your child will have starting next week. Four teachers are going to rotate a “study hall” for make up work, reteaching/retesting skills and incomplete work. It will be held during recess time Monday-Thursdays. Your child will be invited to attend if he or she has any late work to do, make up work to finish, or skills
in reading or math to be retaught and retested. We are excited to offer this additional educational experience to your child if he or she needs it. It will help strengthen skills in a small group setting with lots of individual attention.
CORE EXTENSION LEARNING OPPORTUNITY
Students will have an opportunity to be retaught skills missed on their Benchmark #1 test after the Thanksgiving holiday. If your child did not demonstrate mastery of a skill tested on the Benchmark Test in October, they will join a small group and teacher during recess to be retaught the skill. We hope this will keep our students from falling behind.
SWINE FLU MIST
We have not received information on when the swine flu mist will be given.
We will let you know when we know.
STUDY ISLAND
We have had our computer lab session learning how to use Study Island so now
your child can use it at home as much as he wants! It is a great site for TCAP practice,
skill practice on all skills, and just plain fun!! Kids love the games that accompany the skill practice.
Visit Study Island often!!
LEARN WHILE HELPING OTHERS!
Go to freerice.com and practice academic skills while helping those in need! For every correct answer, 10 grains of rice are donated to help end world hunger. Students should do the "english grammar" category this early in the year as others may be difficult at this time but will become easier as we progress through 3rd grade. Thank you for helping those less fortunate, adults can play too!!!
HOMEWORK
Homework is any unfinished school work from the day and is due the next school day at 8 am. and Study Island review.
