Winter Break

HAPPY WINTER BREAK!!

  

I hope you enjoy your time off!  Winter break is from December  24th- January 4th.  Remember, you are allowed to work in your courses over break, but you are not required to.  But, this is a good time to catch up if you are behind!  

Happy Holidays!  

Reading Workshop TODAY!

Today, at 2:00 P.M., we are offering a Literacy Workshop for parents.  I really suggest that you come!  It will be a very helpful workshop!  You can find the link to the session under your child's Class Connect Sessions.  If you have any questions, please let me know!

Hope to see you there! 

New Study Island Pathways

Kindergarteners will now be working on Pathways in Study Island.  When you log into Study Island, there will be a box on the main page that says Kindergarten.  Click on the plus sign in that box, and the box will expand.  It will show the Math and ELA Pathways that your child needs to complete for that month. 

For December, there are 3 Math and 4 ELA Pathways.  These pathways need to be completed by December 31st. 

Since we have Winter Break coming up, December 24th-January 7th, it would be wise to work in those Pathways now and get them completed.  Just so you don't forget! 

Once your child has completed the Pathways for that month, then he/she can go back and work on the Common Core or Mastery Skills ribbons.  But, the Pathways are the Most Important ribbons to earn!  These should be completed first before working on other ribbons. 

If you have any questions about the new Study Island Pathways, please let me know!

Have fun and go earn your Pathways for this month!

No School on Tuesday!

Just a reminder that we don't have school on Tuesday, December 4th!  All of the MVCA teachers will be at a Professional Development Day.  You can still work in your courses that day if you would like, or you can take the day off!

Enjoy!

Also, Congratulations to our Rockin Rewards winners for this month:
Courtney and Matthew!  YAY!  
 

Wonderful Turkeys!

Take a look at the creative turkeys the Kindergarteners made!  You did such a great job!  They look great!

Blandford Nature Center Outing!

I got to meet Micah and Asher today at our nature outing!  We had a great time walking through the woods and looking at the changing trees.  We got to see owls, hawks, vultures, turtles, snakes, and a bobcat!  We hope that you can join us this Friday for our outing to the cider mill at Robinettes in Grand Rapids!  Here are some pictures from our outing today:
