Thanks in advance for your help!

The business journal should be stored in your child's backpack at all times - that way you have it at home each night in case you need it, and we have it at school each day when we need it. 

MATH FACT PRACTICE - Continue with 10 minutes of quality division fact practice daily, aimed at accuracy as well as increased speed over time.  Thanks for your help with this!

READING MINUTES - Let's continue that great growth in reading this year.  Remind your kids to get 30 minutes of reading in every night or 150 for the week.  If they are stuck in a rut and need book suggestions, please let me know.

It's almost February and VALENTINES Day is Coming! - We keep our celebration simple by making a small craft (valentine bag), exchanging valentines, and enjoying a treat.  We will plan on doing this Thursday, February 13 at the end of the day.  If you would like to provide a treat and/or drink for the kids, please let me know.  Look for a list of our class names coming home next week so you don't forget anyone.  Thanks!!

Hoops & Hoopla 2020!  It’s a night of hoops, featuring the dueling staff basketball teams of ZCS and HCS, along with 56ers scrimmages and a Unified slam dunk contest.  Come also for the hoopla– photos with Elsa, Anna & friends, carnival games, bounce houses, and more, on Saturday, February 1, starting at 6:15 pm at Holland Christian High School.  All this family fun for a suggested donation of $5 ($20 per family).

Fun Night Date Change
