Hello Cedar One Families–
We had a short but busy week. There are a few things in the home folders that need your attention.
1. There is a yellow sheet to be filled out for our school directory (that I guess is still forthcoming). You all filled these out at the beginning of the year, but I got more in my box this week saying first grade needed to do them again. The telephone/address directory is a great resource for families and is all compiled and created generously by parent volunteers–so in my mind whatever slip up there was is forgiven! Please fill that out and get it back next week.
2. We are observing the phases of the moon during the month of January. There is a moon calendar in the home folders so students can record the appearance of the moon each day. Seeing as it’s winter, the sky is not always clear, so moonconnection.com and moongiant.com are good resources for days when the moon is unseen for whatever reason. Today we were lucky to have a break in the clouds and see the waning gibbous moon over the western horizon before it set at 10:30.Tomorrow it will rise and set a little later, so it will be up in the morning and down by noon.
3. We went on IXL today for the first time in math. IXL is a program Edgewood pays for and students can use it for free choice math time at home. The login information for your child (username and password) is in the home folders.
Have a great weekend!
