Weekly Update

Our November red ticket winners for showing good character are BS20, BS22, JS1, ES6, MM11, MM24, MM23, & MM13. We will celebrate with these students the week of December 9. Way to go!

Mrs. Montes will be out of the building at a GLAD Training December 2-9. I will still be checking in with the sub and will be checking Xtra Math on Wednesday. Please continue with our normal routine. Helpers if you could come in for sure next week that would be fantastic for the sub. You can do sight words if she does not need you while she's teaching. Otherwise, a great way to help is in small groups at small group time. I really appreciate your help and commitment. Thank you.

December reading logs came home today. Please be sure to turn in your November log. Thank you again MM23's family for recording and writing certificates.

Please remember to do Xtra Math on Wednesdays. If your computer or the program is having problems, it will tell me. Your child gets a colored circle (green=mastered, did well, got most right    yellow=did ok    red=did not do too well, needs improvement throughout   blue=did not complete) each time they do the program. I am seeing some blue circles, which means they are not completing it or something has allowed them not to finish correctly. Please make sure they are doing the whole thing. We love to celebrate green circles with a 5 horseshoe! Woohoo! We had 6 of them this week! Way to go!!! If your child is consistently getting a red circle then they need to practice more often, and we need to encourage another way to improve their speed and accuracy of their facts. I think everyone is doing very well with the Xtra Math, and thank you for keeping up with it at home. Remember, you can do it 2 more times a week at home if you want to (besides Wednesdays).

Have a great weekend! I can't wait to hear good news from the sub when I return! :)
