Summer Learning

I am forwarding a Parent Resources link provided by the reading and math specialists that includes reading and math support for your child's continuing learning opportunities this summer.

...

"The reading and math specialists have put together videos to help parents support their children in reading and math over the summer.  The reading videos demonstrate how to find a 'just right' book, how to engage your child while they are reading, how to support your child when they are stuck and more.  The math videos focus on fun math games that help reinforce number sense and fluency.  Here is the direct link to the Parent Academy page on the Distance Learning website.  (Parent Resources) ..."

Continue to keep safe and healthy, and at the same time enjoy your summer break!  Please let me know if you have any questions or I can help you in any way!

Hello Everyone,

I hope everyone is enjoying the summer. I wanted to share a website with a few fun and easy activities you can do over the summer. See you in the fall.

Veterans Day

Hi Parents!

Veterans Day is around the corner and Spoede will be having an assembly in honor of all our heroes on November 11th at 2pm in the Spoede gym.  If you or any relatives are serving or have served in the military, we would love to invite you to come to this special celebration.  To prepare for the assembly, we are encouraging students to send in photographs of Veterans in their family.  But please do not send in original photographs as they will not be returned.  Thank you for your help in making our Veterans day special!

Thank you!

National Character Day

Once again, the Ladue School District is commemorating National Character Day on September 26. The district-wide theme is 'High-Tech Character at Ladue' and the focus is on the relationship between technology and character. At Spoede, the Character Education Committee decided our focus would be "Reclaim Joy" and we're asking  kids to consider "unplugging" for 30 minutes the weekend after Character Day 9/27-9/29.

We've discussed the theme as a class, and even brainstormed some ways we could "unplug" during the long weekend.  We'd love to see how you and your family applied the theme, so if you could snap a quick picture and send it in, we'd love to display the different ways our Spoede Turtles "unplugged" this upcoming weekend.  

Thanks for your participation! 

Friday, September 27th No School
