Parents,
It is hard to believe we are already in the month of March. Although the school
year seems to be flying by, our students continue to make great strides with their
learning. The 3rd nine weeks grading period will come to a close March 19, 2015.
Please check the Skyward Parent Portal for information about your child’s grades
and attendance. We hope you have a safe, exciting, and restful spring break. If
you’re not sure how to keep your child occupied during spring break, check out
these ideas from Oxford Learning.
1.
Head outside: Spring break is the perfect time to go skating or skateboarding
and work on a special outdoor project with your kids, such as, constructing a
kid-sized garden or a birdhouse.
2.
Head inside: Check out various community facilities for everything from swimming and bowling, to roller skating or other sports. Investigate special classes
or volunteer opportunities.
3.
Experience the world: Spend a day at a museum, art gallery, planetarium,
aquarium, zoo or hall of fame. Learn about people, science, history, animals
and more!
4.
Plan a crafts day: Drag out the paper, paint, crayons, scissors and glue and
get creative. Make picture frames or put together a scrap book.
5.
Foster a home learning environment: Enjoy the following activities with your
children right in your own home: Cook together and read recipes, write letters
to relatives, read and discuss new articles, design cards and invitations, write
a family history, create a family bulletin board, collect coupons, create original
stories, read the TV guide and discuss good choices, make shopping lists,
sing together, and write thank you notes.
