Monthly Choice Boards 

Studies show that a strong connection between home and school benefits children tremendously. Students whose parents stay actively involved in their education do better in school and demonstrate a higher attendance rate, better social skills, and an increased graduation rate. 

I would like to keep working to make our home and school connection better. To do this, I'm going to be putting choice boards in the school bulletin at the beginning of every month for kids to complete if they would like. The October choice board is attached to this letter. For the rest of the months, please print one off from the school bulletin and help your child figure out which activities they would like to complete for the month. If you don't have the ability to print one off, please send me a message and I will send one home with your child/children. These are simple and fun activities that they can complete with you. I want this to be fun and interactive. If your child completes their required amount of tasks, have them bring their paper back to me for a prize. Prizes include cool pens, slap bracelets, small stuffed animals, cars, water bottle stickers, fidgets, desk pets, stress balls, and Gatorade. 

Grades K-2 complete at least 5 activities throughout the month Grades 3-5 complete at least 7 activities throughout the month *Parents/Guardians: Please initial the squares that your child completes. You   don’t need to send any of the activities back with them. 

Thank you for staying involved in your child's education. If you have any questions, please contact me.  Email: alaynaw@ada.k12.mn.us Phone: 218-784-5353 Remind: @hdg627   (Mrs. Wagner Title 1 Coordinator)
