In Math we are wrapping up Topic 11 and will have a test on Subtracting within 1,000. Then we move on to Topic 12: Measuring Length.
Please continue to encourage completion of 45 minutes of both Reading and Math iReady lessons at home each week. Sometimes I assign this for homework and I've noticed from the reports I receive weekly that usage of the app has dropped off for some students. Spring fever already seems to be setting in and families are getting busier, but when there is little or no homework students should sign on for 20 minutes or so.
Please send me an email if your family is traveling during Spring Break and will need to quarantine upon return so that I can prepare material for remote learning. I've been told by several students that they are going on vacation, but I'm not sure who to believe. Thanks!
