Take a look at the fabulous job our Smart Cookies did on their reflection challenge lab in science today!  Getting the angle of the mirrors to properly reflect the light beam to highlight the action figure was hard, but with perseverance great things happen!

Welcome back and a Happy 2023!  I hope that you all found time to connect with the important people in your life and to also get outside once our cold snap finally ended :)

A few very important things your child will need this week:

• A book that they have recently read at their level (to complete a book talk about as well as some connection/comparisons work).  This can come from home or the school but needs to be with then in class all week.  
• A small flashlight, small figurine and their shoe box from before Christmas.  These need to be here Tuesday for Science 

 Week of Jan 9: 

Monday:  This week's homework is math weekly #7 and is due Friday.

Tuesday:  - Book (recently read and at your child's reading level) needed for first thing in the morning. --Science supplies for our lab needed: small figurine, flashlight and shoe box

Wednesday: * Keep practicing math facts at home.  Near the end of January students will get a second try at their timed math facts before report cards :)

Thursday: Science supplies needed for our lab : flashlight, 3 small pieces (no bigger than the palm of your hand) of items to test for transparent, translucent and opaque

Friday (full day): Math weekly questions are due first thing in the morning.

Report cards: A reminder that report cards will be finalized and available online at the end of this month through Parent Portal.  Though you might see marks in the document at this time these continue to be works in progress and may change based on work still to be completed.  * Your Child's portfolio will go home a few days before report cards so that you can see the evidence of their work that goes towards the grades thy have earned.
