We will be showing having a spirit week to countdown to the block party!
Monday- Share your Heritage: Learn a fact about your heritage and be ready tos hare with your class on Monday!
Tuesday- Translation Tuesday! Talk to your friends in Spanish! Practice what you learned with Sra. Lopez or show off your fluent language skills. Being bilingual is so amazing!
Wednesday- Flag Day! Bring a mini flag or create one to march into school with pride!
Thursday- Celebrate your Heritage! Wear your country's traditional wear or something that celebrates your heritage. Party with us after school for our Hispanic Heritage Month Block Party!
Friday- Surprise Snack Day! Be brave and get ready to try something new. A special Hispanic Heritage snack or treat will be delivered to your classroom!
We are so excited about our upcoming field trip to Lego Land! Our students will have the opportunity to engage in early-engineering concepts, problem-solving skills, and strengthen their collaboration and teamwork skills!
Practice Makes Progress!
Families,
Homework is given every Monday and is due on Friday. Please be sure to work with your child daily to reinforce what they are learning.
For the reading passage, please listen and watch your child read for 1 minute straight. Mark the section at the bottom each day, circling the words they get correct and incorrect. The expectation is that your child reads the passage once a day and grows in their number of words correct by Friday.
Math homework is to be completed and returned with the reading homework. We suggest all homework stays in your child’s folder during the week so that it does not get left at home on Friday.
Work diligently on having students read their "red words" with automaticity. Students should be able to read them quickly when they see them. We have these words listed in our classroom. Once every student has signed off on reading every word correctly, the whole class will get a gumball!
Let us know if you have any questions,
