Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day is coming soon and even though we are moving students towards middle school where they don't have these holiday celebrations during school hours, we will be providing time for students to share Valentines if they would like.

All students have access to a list of their classmate's names on Google Classroom.  If they would like to bring Valentines they need to make sure they bring one for their entire homeroom or for no one at all.  Students will have time to pass them out at 2:30 on Tuesday the 14th.  We will be having an end of quarter party in March rather than a large Valentine's Day party.

CELEBRATE!
As we have been working through the second semester, I have noticed many students showing great responsibility for their learning.  They are making sure that their assignments are completed correctly and on time.  They are communicating with us about their grades and doing all they can to be successful.  I am very proud of all their hard work.

Snow Day Pay Back

Below is a list of the days we will be having school due to snow days.

Because the students worked so hard during the last snow day, we do not have to make that one up! Let your child know we are all proud of how hard they worked and it payed off.

Spirit Day

This Friday, the 27th will be a spirit day - Crazy Hair / Hat Day. On this day, students may wear whatever crazy hat they would like as well as color their hair. If they decide to have their hair colored, they must have it washed out by class time on Monday, January 30th.

 If students choose to participate in this event it will be $1 and half of the proceeds will be donated to a Vision Charter family in need. We hope to see school spirit rise throughout the halls and classrooms of Vision Charter as we see all of your creative crazy hats and hair!!

Snow day #2

Yesterday, I assigned 9 IXL skills.  If it took each student 20 minutes to do each, that would total 3 hours.  Mr. Keefe/Mrs. Bingham also assigned work.  Since students needed a TOTAL of 2.5 hours, there should still be some skills they can work on that they didn't finish yesterday.  

I'm not adding extra IXL skills.  I am posting a short math assignment on Google Classroom that students will recognize.

I will be posting something students can do for their career research in Language Arts.  There are very specific instructions on Google Classroom.

All I have for you in Science is just to be ready for the test.

Once you have finished 2.5 hours, send me a message either by Classroom or email and I will put it on my list.  This time includes any school work you have done.  Some students most amazing hard workers and will try to complete everything no matter what, please don't wear yourself out.  I have assigned more work than you will be able to finish. 

I've already heard from a few people.  You are doing a great job!  I know that for many of you this is tricky with limited technology and many kids all stuck at home.  I appreciate your support and how everyone is working together to keep students learning and growing.
