Xtra Math-I am so pleased with some of the progress we are making on Xtra Math. We have 6 students who are on subtraction now! Way to go! Congratulations to DM5 for joining the subtraction club this week! In looking back at the second quarter Xtra Math scores I noticed some students improved by 25, 50, and even 65 points from January! Wow! Keep practicing at home please! Some of you are so close to making 100 in addition. Then you will move on to subtraction also.
Next week's story is called Abuela. It is about a girl and the wonderful relationship and experiences she has with her grandmother. It is one of my favorite stories for the year. We will also read the sequel Isla. Please discuss with their child what special things they like to do with their grandma. We will be making text to self connections with what they love about their grandma in their own life.
Please continue to encourage good homework habits every night. We are trying very hard to motivate the children to turn in their homework every night. They will have a little bit of free time Friday afternoons for turning it in all week on time.
We are giving special treats to students who bring in healthy snacks for breakfast. We love what you've done this week with their snacks. I even saw some cut up cucumbers and carrots! Way to go!
Have a fantastic weekend. Enjoy this beautiful weather! It is hard to focus when it's nice like this! One more week until Spring Break.
Mrs. Montes :)
