Math Quiz

A quick update on the math quizzes.  I am going to hold on to them until after parent-teacher interviews.  If you are not able to meet I will send home the tests for you to look at after that time.

Wrapping up the week

We had a great day today.  Thank you to everyone who discussed yesterday's writing assignment with their child.
This weekend please discuss traditions and symbols of your cultural background with your child.  They will be drawing out their ideas on a square that will be quilted together with their classmates' to make a cultural quilt display in our classroom.

This afternoon we had a wonderful time playing math games to reinforce the ideas of place value and adding and multiplying by tens, hundreds, thousands and ten thousands.  Students were very engaged and come up with great strategies!

Homework tonight

This morning we had a guest teacher in our classroom while I attended an in-school meeting.  It is with disappointment that I report to you that the students had a difficult time treating our guest teacher with respect.  Students have been assigned a writing task of a detailed paragraph explaining why it is important to treat our guests with respect and to have a caregiver read and sign their work at home tonight.

Our class has reviewed and acknowledged what respect looks like at school and I encourage you to discuss this topic with your child.

Classroom Donations

Our class is beginning to run low on tissues and paper towels.  Tissues are the currently the greatest need.  If you are able to donate a box or roll to the classroom it would be truly appreciated.
