, This past Saturday we were able to be the one for kids in the greater Grand Rapids area. We went to Kids' Food basket and created trail mix to be included in the sack suppers that are sent home with 5,700 kids each day! That is incredible! 5,700 kiddos will have their third meal of a day thanks to our help at Kids' Food Basket. Way to go!
Typing is something that is of increased importance. Our state standardized test is now taken on computers and involves a lot of writing. Students will not be clicking multiple choice answers, but will be responsible for writing short answer and essay answers throughout the test. Due to this large volume of typing that is needed it is super important for typing to become part of the homework routine. I know that not all homes may have a computer with a keyboard available for this practice, so this practice will be more self guided and a chance to earn rewards. A note will come home this week with more information on how to track progress. In class we will be making our Kid Blogs part of our weekly routine as well. This will help to give a little more practice time to students as well. We have many fun things in the works and on the horizon. One event that is coming up is a Donut with Dad morning. I would like to invite dads, grandpas, or another special "dude" to join their student at 8:15 on Friday, January 22nd for a donut and a chance to hear about the things that have been accomplished so far. Formal invite will come home this week. Class Goal: One thing that we have been talking about in class is the importance of being prideful of our work and taking responsibility for things. One way you can help with this goal at home is asking your child each night about the items in their agendas and signing it. Please only sign if all items are completed and studied. We will continue to work on developing that pride in class as well! Thank you for all of your support.
