Welcome Back!

Welcome back to an exciting new school year!  

Our Learning Community is the IMA classroom blog.  This is a place for you to discover what the IMA students are learning and discovering at school.  Rather than the quick summaries of projects or units of study that you might read about in our newsletters, our blog will give the teachers more room to explain our work while sharing classroom pictures to help you see what students are doing.  

The blog is an easy way to stay updated on your child's classroom adventures.  

It is a great launching point for family conversations about school.  

The blog can be shared with relatives that live far away so grandparents and other family members can stay connected to your child's school year.

Enjoy your reading visits and we hope that you find our classroom blog helpful. 

Homework: Busy as Bees!

Thank you to all of our families for supporting our  IMA students as they develop their homework routines.  Keep us posted on your child's reactions to math assignments and their reading selections.  Work with your child to figure out a homework schedule so that homework time is an easy part of your week, rather than a dramatic rush.  PLEASE contact us if you are having technical issues with the Pearson website so we can help as soon as possible.  Send an email if your child needs assistance in selecting books for independent reading at home.

Remember:  homework time can be a window into your child's learning life, so enjoy the time together, talk about books he or she is reading, and encourage your child to build those math skills and strategies one step at a time.  You are key in developing your child's positive attitude toward learning and we really appreciate your support.
