Wednesday, November 17th - Regular Day

Thursday we will dress silly (no costumes)! Think mix-matched prints, silly hair, let your creativity soar!
Friday, November 19th - PJs and Stuffies
Learners can wear pajamas (tennis shoes for recess and PE) and bring a stuffed animal that will fit in their backpack.
Weather Reminders
With fall/winter temperatures approaching, we want to share some reminders regarding recess. We enjoy recess daily, weather permitting the temperature is above freezing or it isn't raining. Please send appropriate jackets, sweatshirts, coats labeled with your child or family's name. Layers are always a great idea for fluctuating temperatures, as it's cool in the mornings and warms up in the afternoons. The temperature also fluctuates in the classroom throughout the day and a light sweatshirt or jacket is always helpful.
Math - DreamBox and Reflex Math
In math, we use two apps to supplement our learning! On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays in class, we use Reflex Math for approximately 15 minutes to work on our math fact fluency. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, we work on DreamBox for approximately 15-20 minutes in class. Our goal each week is to complete 5 DreamBox lessons. Your child is welcome to work towards their goal of 5 lessons a week on DreamBox at home. Additionally, if your child is absent, we'd love your help in having them complete that day's app for about 15-20 minutes at home.
