Announcements:
Please
make sure that you email your student’s teacher if you plan for your child to
miss school leading up to winter break.
We will do our best to deliver any assessments early to ensure they
receive accurate quarter two grades.
Parent teacher conferences will be held on January 6th and 7th. See your scholar’s teacher with any questions.
There
will also be no tutoring this
upcoming week, for those students who have been attending Wednesday/Friday.
As
the weather (and our classrooms) becomes cool, school dress code states that
students may wear a Cicero uniform sweater/sweatshirt or a solid navy sweater
inside (no hoodies, please). They may
wear other types of jackets and sweatshirts outside at recess. We will be enforcing this dress code policy
more strictly. Please make sure your scholar has a dress-code appropriate
sweater as the classrooms get chilly during the day.
Please
send your student with a healthy snack and lunch to help him or her be
successful throughout the day in the classroom.
We have noticed that students who have highly-processed and sugary meals
have difficulty concentrating in class and regulating behavior, especially in
the afternoon.
Academics

Math

We will review all semester one concepts
including place value, addition, subtraction, measurement, multiplication and
division. We will review our learning on monday with a test on Tuesday.
Please send the 2B book to school with your scholar for quarter 3.
*Ask your child to sing you our 3’s
multiplication facts song to the tune of Jingle Bells!

Reading
|
When we come back from winter break, please
send our next book Little House in the
Big Woods, with your student.

Poetry
|
We will continue to work on our project week
poem, The Star Spangled Banner. Please practice this poem over the
break so that your student arrives in January ready to recite! All students
in the grade level will recite the poem collectively on January 9th. Students will recite in small groups for
the class individually and may earn extra points if they attempt an
individual recitation.
