Hello UEW Families,
We are doing a big push to help all students master math facts. The first goal is to do 100 facts in ten minutes in all four operations, addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Once they have achieved this goal, we want them to work at getting 100 done in five minutes! We will be working daily on this goal. Please check in with your student and give extra support at home as needed!
Thank you so much for everything you've donated to the Soiree basket! We're very grateful for your generosity. We hope to see you all at Como Dockside this weekend!
Sixth grade students will be attending a naturalization ceremony this coming Monday. We'll be taking the city bus to the RiverCentre and will be gone all morning. 4th and 5th grade students will have work time as usual.
All Upper El students will be visiting Dodge Nature Center for an all day field trip on Wednesday, 2/15. Students need to dress for the weather, as they will be outside for most of the day. Students should also bring a lunch that doesn't need to be heated that day.
A note about Valentine's Day: We will not be handing out cards and candy at school this year. We'll take time to make gifts and notes for each other at school, and to appreciate the strong community students have built at school this year with craft and play time.
Best,
Jean and Amanda
