Team Urban,
We FINALLY won Lucy the Lion today for Spirit Day. We have been working on our chanting, excitement level, and overall spirit for a while now. Today they were actually excited we won!
Today, January Assessment Logs went home. Please review them with your child and sign and return the log on Monday.
One score you will see on the log that may be considerably lower than other scores is Topic 11 Post test for math. Overall, this was a difficult topic on two-step word problems using all four operations. We will continue to work on this concept for the remainder of the year.
It's hard to believe that Spring Break is right around the corner. Please mark your calendars as February 28th is the last day to AR. Also, since second trimester conferences are optional, for many, we will be hosting Student-Led conferences during the week of March 12th - 16th. More details on the specific date and time coming soon.
Also, please remember that ILCS is a leadership school and service is something we value greatly. Your kiddo is required to complete a service project and 8 hours of service. The project will be due in May.
Our class will be having a small Valentine's Day celebration on February 14th from 12-1. If you can contribute to the celebration, we would greatly appreciate your donation. Thank you to those families who have already made contributions. Please know that your child does not have to distribute Valentine cards, but if they choose to, they must include everyone in the class. Please send in an empty Capri Sun box for your child to decorate with their leader buddies.
Student Led Conferences will be held Tuesday, March 12th from 1:30-3:30. Be prepared to attend during that time as your child will be sharing their progress with you.
