Other Important Information
Technology Lexia: Your child is working on the year-end goal of reaching level 10 (completing Level 9) using the Language Arts program, Lexia. Please help your child go to this website at home so that he/she may obtain this goal! We will also be working to reach this goal here at school. Go to Lexiacore5.com. You will need my email address, smithl@scsc.k12.in.us for the first time that you sign in. Your child's username and password for this program are on a label on the first page of his/her agenda. Below I have broken the levels down by month. If your child completes each level listed by the end of each month, he/she should have no problem reaching Level 10 by the end of the year. Many children continue to work towards higher levels to better prepare them for 2nd grade!

Birthdays
Happy February Birthdays to: Alex--11th; Hayate--20th!
Students may bring treats to school for their birthdays on a Friday. We have a little more flexibility with time on Fridays! Treats must be store-bought with ingredients listed on a label to prevent allergic reactions. Please let me know a couple of days in advance if your child wants to bring a birthday treat so I can plan accordingly. Thanks! Just a suggestion: Smaller is better! Mini cupcakes, small cookies, or small treats work great with this age group. Some students will only take one or two bites and throw the rest away.
