Mad Science Event Class Website iReady/Extra Math

The Liberty PTO is sponsoring a father/child event centered around a Mad Science experience. They will be holding a “Science” design contest. The information was included in the Tuesday communication. Posters will be due 2/22. Many students are very creative and may enjoy this project at home.
The event is scheduled of February 27 from 4:30-6:30. If your child is interested in science and spending time with Dad, consider signing up.

We had some special events at Liberty this week. Please check out the website for pictures from our Abraham Lincoln assembly.
Skylar received a special packet from President Obama which included a letter and pictures. The pictures are on the website.
A group of students created a “newcast” about the Great Chicago Fire. The video is in the Social Studies section of the website.
Check out all the cool happenings!

The iReady computer program the district provides for all students is a very beneficial resource for your child to practice reading and math skills. Please make it a routine for your child to spend some time on this site during the week. A few days a week will create improvement in skills. We go to the computer lab each week to work on both reading and math sites.
I have changed the skills to multiplication and division for the students who visit the Extra math website. If your child would like to visit another site for math fact practice, they have an account to the Extra math site.

Monday: President’s Day—No School
Tuesday: Illinois History Timeline
