Happy New Year! I hope you all had a relaxing break and time home with your children. I had a wonderful time with my family and I even got to see the Spartans win the Rose Bowl in California! It was amazing!
In 2014 we are hitting the ground running! Your children will have a spelling test this Friday on the /j/, /s/, and /k/ sounds. Remember that www.spellingcity.com is a great resource for kids to practice their spelling words online. Additionally, on Tuesday, January 21st your children will take a math test on Multiplication and Division. Prior to break, I sent home multiplication flash cards in a plastic bag. Please make sure your child is spending some time each week practicing their multiplication math facts. www.multiplication.com is another great resource for math fact practice!
Please remember that there is no school on Martin Luther King Jr. day on Monday, January 20th.
Lastly, if there are any parents interested in helping the students to edit their animal books to prepare for publishing, please e-mail me and let me know. We will be needing some help this week and for the next couple of weeks! Thank you! :)
It is good to be back in to the swing of things again. I missed your kids! :) Please let me know if you have any questions or comments!
Sincerely,
Daryl Bean
