WINTER BREAK IS HERE!

Good Afternoon Parents,

We made it through the first part of the School Year!  We had an awesome week finishing our narrative writing pieces and taking the first part of our fraction unit test. The students had  a relaxing Friday with holiday activities and treats. Thank you parents for all the donations for the STEM activities and holiday treat. I am very thankful that I have awesome parents!

Here are some announcements for next week:
Winter Break starts on Saturday, December 18th, and ends on Sunday, January 2nd. I will see everyone back at school on Monday, January 3rd.

Parents! what you need to sign this week:

• Nothing! Enjoy Break

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 to look 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. ​

Things to do at home during Winter Break:

• Read - at least 10 days out of 14 days for 20 minutes
• Journal Writing for 10 minutes every day
• Math Games on McGraw Hill App on Clever
  • Division Dash
  • Name that Number
  • Multiplication and Division Top It
• 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].

I hope everyone has a wonderful two week break! Take this time to be with family and relax!
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and Happy New Year!

Love, 
Miss Vuichard
