We will have a Math assessment for Topic 10 on Monday, then begin our work on Topic 11: Subtract within 1,000 using models and strategies.
Please continue to encourage work at home on iReady Reading and Math lessons. Students who will be receiving the Sacrament of First Eucharist should also be working together with parents in their book The Gift of Eucharist provided by Dr. Antos. Ideally, all the short lessons in the book should be finished by mid-April.
Spring is right around the corner and the kids are really enjoying their outdoor recess time together. Please send outerwear appropriate for the day's weather because we will go outside every day unless it is too wet.
