This is a great tool for homework.  Many students understand the concept, but are writing incorrect answers due to math facts.  Allow them to use this tool for homework.

Sign your family up to read online

This free site has wonderful titles for all age groups.  

Remember students should be reading 10 pages a night for homework.  This is a FREE way to expand their library. 

Field Trip

Field Trip Reminders:

~Try to wear a Marysville or Blue shirt and tennis shoes. 

~ A disposable lunch is easiest.  Ziploc bags, juice boxes, plastic water bottles, and plastic utensils may be thrown out after lunch; less for us to transport.

~ I’d prefer if students came with NO money or electronics.  Teachers and chaperones are not responsible for these items. 

~ Arrive to school at 7:30; the bus will leave at 7:45. 

~ We will return to school before the final bell.

headphones

We are utilizing the iPads daily in class.  Students need headphones for individual tasks. 

I haven’t brought up this need in the past because students were kindly sharing.  I don’t feel this is the best choice for instruction and personal hygiene at this time. 

If possible, please find an old pair at home or visit the dollar store.  It would be great for every students to take full advantage of our electronics J!
