I plan on ordering the class pizza for lunch this Friday. So, your student will not need a lunch that day unless they do not want pizza. If possible, try to keep this information hidden- I want to surprise them!
Math Resources
Hello! If you wish to review math skills and concepts with your student at home, I suggest checking out the Google Slides that we have been using in class. Here, you will see our learning targets for each lesson and will be able to access the links for additional online math resources that are being used during math workshop.

Homework for the week
Hello! I will not be sending home a homework packet because of the short week. However, I HIGHLY ENCOURAGE having your student do additional Black History Month research at home. We have been conducting research in class on a particular person or event that relates to Black History, and the more research the better. Thanks!
