*** Class 3B will be going to Book Fair on Wednesday January 28 at 12:15 *********
I am working on a goal to help the students learn how to study, not just what to study. To support this, we will begin a short nightly study routine. Each school night and weekend, students will spend about 10 minutes reviewing a different subject (reading, math, science, social Studies, English, or Religion) The focus will be on building strong study habits such as:
reviewing notes or vocabulary
practicing recalling information
explaining what they learned in their own words
These short, focused study times will help students become more confident learners and improve their understanding across all subjects- without feeling overwhelmed. I am noticing a difference on the tests and class discussions of these quick study times.
Thank you for supporting your child as they develop these important lifelong skills. Please let me know if you have any questions.
There will be no homework club this week. We will be celebrating mass at 8:00 am on Wednesday Jan. 28. Congrats to class 3B for earning the recorder award another month. Please also refresh any art supplies to start the year off on a bright side. A book report will be coming home this weekend based on important Americans in this 250 years celebrating our country. Most students already picked out a book that needs to be approved by the teacher. They will be reading the book, fill out a fact sheet, and creating a stamp to honor the person. This assignment is due on Feb. 3.
