Dear Eisenhower Families,
We hope everyone is having a wonderful start to the new year. As we move into the middle of our second trimester of learning, we want to renew our conviction of setting goals, being consistent, and striving to reach our full potential.
With this being said, if you have not yet started, please set a goal of reading 20-minutes per night with your child. Be sure to define new vocabulary words for your child, provide rich and robust word alternatives and choices, discuss the story, share ideas, read with expression, intonation, and, above all, enjoy your time together.
In addition to reading each night, discuss with your child's teacher any math concepts or skills that they might need extra reinforcement with at home. Use another 10-minutes each night to practice numeracy skills such as counting, adding, subtracting, understanding story problems, measuring, counting money, telling time, analyzing graphs and shapes, identifying more or less than, and the concept of probability.
Our hope is that this 30-minutes of nightly practice and review will not only create a strong foundation in your child's reading and math fluency but also enhance your family time.
Valentines' Card & Party Update
Eisenhower, Ross, and Sullivan want to provide clarification regarding Valentine's Day expectations for parties.
Students are welcome to bring Valentines for all of their classmates.
Valentines will be exchanged before the parties begin.
Students may not bring candy or food items to pass out with the Valentine cards.
If Valentine’s cards purchased are accompanied by stickers, bookmarks, pencils, erasers, or other non-food items, they may be passed out with valentine cards.
Please do not feel obligated to purchase items to pass out to the students.
Our PTO room parents are planning some great crafts and activities for the students’ parties.
Winter Weather Reminder
Please remember to have your child appropriately attired with a winter coat, hat, gloves, and scarf. Students will be outdoors for recess unless wind chill conditions reach 10 degrees or icing occurs with changing conditions. Only students wearing snow pants and boots may play in the snow. Also, please approach parent drop off and pickup as well as loading and unloading zones with appropriate spacing between yours and the driver’s vehicle in front of you.
