Dear Parents,
The students had a great time last week watching their volcanoes erupt! Who knew an Alka-Seltzer tablet could be so useful during science class. :) The class earned their 20th class compliment last week, so they have earned a very short popcorn party at the end of day on Monday. If you do not want your child to have popcorn, please send in a substitute treat for them.
Have a wonderful homeschool week!!!
Blessings in Christ,
Mrs. Poncy
Important info: Reading: I am in the process of administering running records for students. This gives me the opportunity to hear their speed, expression, and overall reading habits (ex, do they self-correct as they read, skip an unknown word or sound out unfamiliar words when reading). I'll be in touch with you about these soon!
