Wonderful Winter Challenge Reminder
Dear Amana Parents,
 
Just a quick reminder that students have until January 5 to 
reach 5000 IXL problems to get recognized at our mid-year honors ceremony.  

One way to get those IXL numbers up is through Amana's Wonderful Little Winter Challenge.  

Complete the three tasks below between December 19 and January 5.  Turn the linked flyer in and get an invitation to participate in a school-wide frozen treat celebration in January!

RETURN flyers to the box at the front desk - Due Jan.9th
  • Read a little: Read for  at least 20 minutes each day for 12 days
  • Practice a little: Complete at least 30 IXL math problems each day for 12 days
  • Explore a little:Take a hike or make something.  Reflect on something new you learned about yourself, a friend, or family member during this experience.

Coach Book Deadline Extended
Last year, the Georgia Department of Education launched the Georgia Milestones standardized test, which includes questions that require higher depth of knowledge and the ability to explain your reasoning in math and ELA. At Amana we dig deeply into the standards and feel that our students are better prepared than students that don't have the benefit of the Expeditionary Learning model, but a little review is always helpful. 
 
We are pleased to offer the Crosswalk Coach (Science & Social Studies) and Common Core Performance Coach Workbooks (Math & Reading/LA) to help your child prepare for the Georgia Milestone Assessments. This grade specific series provides students with the level of rigorous practice that is called for by the Common Core Standards. Books are available for grades 3-8. In addition to the coach books, we suggest purchasing the answer guides (especially for Math and Reading/LA), since there are many questions which require a constructed response, modeling, and short essays.
 
They may only be purchased this year online only by click the button below.
 
Deadline to order extended: Friday, January 1, 2016
