Home Connection
- Welcome back, friends! We hope you are using the apps that help our kids learn at home. LEXIA, Razkids, and ST Math are all great tools. If you need passwords for these apps, please ask your child’s teacher.
- Please have your child practice counting out loud to 100. Make sure to focus on the tricky jumps, like going from 29 to 30, 39 to 40, 49 to 50, and 59 to 60.
- January is a wonderful time to focus on being active, getting more sleep, and eating healthier foods. You can find more tips on this website: Healthy Habits for Families.
- Please check your child’s pockets and backpacks for toys. We need your help to keep our promise of no toys at school.
- Please send in healthy snacks for your child to enjoy at lunch. Snacks like chips and candy can give them a sugar rush, but then they crash and find it hard to pay attention in the afternoon. Thank you!
