Hello!
Homework Update:
I am going to start sending home math homework once a week. I am usually not a big fan of homework, but I also feel torn with the fact that once these kiddos get to middle school, they will regularly be given homework. Anyway I can help set them up for middle school - I'm in! Students who arrive anytime before 8am, are always welcomed to do their homework here in the classroom. One thing I do want to stress is that if you are feeling like the homework is too tricky or that it is causing your child to become frustrated or emotional - please feel free to just shoot me an email and send back the work they completed even if it isn't all of it. I will take it as a sign that they need greater support with me here in the classroom.
Upcoming Events:
Wednesday, December 15th: Math Quick Quiz
Tuesday, December 21st: Math Test
Wednesday, December 22nd: Pajama Day!
Thursday, December 23rd - December 31st: Happy Holidays! NO SCHOOL.
Curriculum Updates:
Reading: We are hoping to wrap up our Detail and Synthesis unit before break! Students are working hard to reading their partnership books they've chosen and meet with their partner with solid, deep thinking jots about their characters.
Writing: Students have been doing fantastic on writing literary essays. Most have finished up writing their character essays and are now moving on two
Math: You should have seen your child's division math test come home last week! If you haven't yet, please make sure you sign it and send it back. We've begun our measurement unit! We have completed lessons about the metric system and time! Students seem really excited and engaged in this unit which is making it so fun to teach!
Enjoy your week! ☃
