WINTER BREAK!!!!

Today the students had a blast! We went on a polar express ride where we visited the Winter assembly, made ginger bread homes, and watch The Polar Express movie!!! Not to mention had lots of treats!!! Oh, by the way, I had to send treats back home that were not enough for the whole class. There were several treats packaged with only 24 treats. I sent a note on Monday, reminding parents that we have 30 students, and like I told the kids "If I don't have enough for everybody, then nobody gets one." Either way, the students did have a lot of treats and they were so happy. According to one of the students, "This is the best day ever!"

Also, we do have a case of hair lice in our classroom. I sent notes home today with more information. Please make sure to check your child's head and discuss good hygiene habits.

Lastly, parents have address concerns on how they can further help their child at home. Over the winter break I am sending 2 workbooks that you can use to help guide your child. These workbooks are 2 out of 6 that I will continue to send home as we cover material in class. To get you started, we did complete some of the math workbook. These workbooks should be used like a NWEA coach book. NWEA is the test that will assess how much growth your child has made this year. Please keep in mind that these workbooks should be completed with an adult and not by alone.

Also, please continue to use Odyssey and Raz Kids if internet access is available. You can locate both these links on our class blog at www.mrsestrada.com.
