Spring Break is Finally Here!

3/24/2022

0 Comments

 
Hello, Parents!

WE MADE IT TO SPRING BREAK! The students had a great week finishing our last few lessons in math, so plan on the week after spring break that we will be testing for Unit 5. Also, please encourage your student to read over break. They can take AR quizzes when they return to school on Tuesday, April 5th. We will be doing an AR check that Friday, April 8th!

I hope everyone has a nice and relaxing spring break!  

Here are some announcements for next week:

Spring Break is from Saturday, March 26th to Monday, April 4th. Students will return to school on Tuesday, April 5th 

Looking for Class Donation of Expo Markers! We are running low on Expo Markers and we do use them every day. Please donate if you can!

THIS IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE THIS IS HAPPENING EVERY DAY!
Students should be bringing all their materials home and back to school every day. This will help students who have to quarantine due to exposure to Covid-19. Students who are quarantined or absent NEED to look on Google Classroom for our daily assignment post. Our students must stay on top of their school work when they are not here at school. Please email me if you have any questions or comments. 

Parents! what you need to sign this week:
  • No Paperwork for you to sign, ENJOY!

Parent Connect/Gradebooks: Parents, you can start checking Parent Connect to see what assignments your student is missing or incomplete and see what they have received on homework and test. For missing assignments, I would suggest showing your students what the assignment is and looking for it in their backpack, desk, or locker. If they can’t find it, please tell me to make a new copy. Students could also check their grades using Student Connect if they didn’t know. This can be found on the Brighton Area Schools website under “I am a Student.” Please email me if you have any questions. 

Absent Students: Please look on Google Classroom for Assignments and Homework that you missed. I will have all the paper copies for you when you return, and you will need to get your absent packet signed by a parent. 

Planners: Please sign the planner every day!
Math: We finished our last lesson. We will be reviewing and testing after spring break.
Reading/Writing: We are working on a common theme essay in class
Science: Students are working on Properties of Matter. We will be testing for the science unit after spring break.
Social Studies: Please check Mrs. Krayer’s Classroom for absent work and use the TCI website through Clever. 


Clever Apps to do at home:
  • Power Up
    • Goal: Students can receive a Pawsitive for doing all their minutes. We do spend at least 60 minutes throughout the week on Power-Up.
  • Imagine Math 
    • Goal: 20 minutes a day. Students spend at least 60 minutes throughout the week on Imagine Math.
  • Khan Academy Mappers:
    • Students can use this app to increase their knowledge of mathematics that they need and are ready for. This program generates mathematical skills and concepts based on their NWEA scores. They can sign in using the link on Google Classroom.

If you have any questions, then please email me at [email protected].
