Did somebody say, “Pizza?”

snow-day-300x192We have another SNOW DAY today.  Please encourage your child to do at least 30 minutes of learning (see below).  Thanks to our AMAZING PTC (made possible by your WALK•A•THON Donations), $10 Barnes and Noble Gift Cards (one per grade) will be given to randomly drawn students.

AND, AN EXTRA SPECIAL INCENTIVE:

Mrs. Reagan will throw a pizza party for the classroom that has the MOST PARTICIPANTS in SNOW DAY LEARNING.   She will look at who has participated over all the snow days (last Friday, today …. and maybe other days this week) and the class with the most students who participate will get a PRINCIPAL PIZZA PARTY!

Options for learning:

  1. Read a book or two or three.  ONLINE Learning record for reading minutes.

MOBYMAX: Online Learning Support at School and Home

We are excited to pilot a web-based curriculum called MobyMax in our PK-5 classroom.  In addition to access at school, all students have access to MobyMax at home.  We are hopeful that this site will be a useful way for our students to practice skills during the school year, on those occasional snow days and during the summer months.

Features of MobyMax:

  • mobymaxTailored to your child’s individual needs.
  • Placement tests that identify strengths and needs.
  • Targeted instruction to “fill in” missing skills.
  • Systematic review sessions to keep skills fresh.

As an extra incentive for our students to use MOBYMAX at home, we are offering two contests.

Spring Treat:  Student who spends the most time on MOBYMAX between now and April 25 gets to select a class prize for their class.

Spring Break Contest: April 3-12 – Student who spends the most time on MOBYMAX earns a $20 Barnes and Noble Gift Card and a Chocolate Bunny!
