Mrs. Zimm's Happy Campers

We are starting a new chapter in math which covers subtracting two-digit numbers with regrouping.  I will be teaching the students 5 different methods to solve these equations.  I’d like each student to find the method that they enjoy using the best.  I’d also like them to understand the other methods and be able to use them if needed.  I am providing a worksheet this week for homework that includes a work space for each problem.  I’d like your child to practice the different methods at home.  I will post a video each day this week explaining a method  for your child to use as a reference.  The worksheet will fit 4 equations.  Please have your child practice each method at least twice.  You will use the same worksheet.  So if you print up 3 of these worksheets, your child will have room for 12 problems.  That means you have room to work on each of the 5 methods twice, as well as two more of their choice.  If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me or stop in for clarification, I would love to go over it with you!

We finished up our weather unit and will study how Christmas is celebrated in different parts of the world.  We will also go over Kwanzaa and Hanukkah.  If you have any experience or items you would like to share with the class, please email me and we would love to have you come visit us!

We will be working on a fun art project for the next two weeks.  The students will each need to bring in a jar with a tightly fitting lid.  This jar does not need to be new.  You can use an old jam jar or something else that has been cleaned out.  As long as the jar has a tightly fitting lid, it will work for this project.  We will need these by next Monday, December 11th.

Thanks for all you do!  These students are amazing and so are you as parents!  Thanks for all you do for your children!

I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving Break!

There are two math pages assigned as homework this week.  We are taking our Chapter 6 math test on Wednesday, so it would be best if your child got these done as a review before then.  We are starting our chapter on 2-digit subtraction on Thursday. We are also finishing up our Weather science unit.  Our meteorologist will be visiting for the last time on Monday.  We are so thankful that he took the time to visit our class!  We will be studying Christmas Around the World for December.  If you or anyone you know is knowledgable and willing, we would love to have them visit our class and share how Christmas is celebrated in a different part of the world.  Please email me or call the school for more information.
Here are the pages that need to be printed for homework this week.  They are due on Monday.  Please check your child’s homework folder for additional assignments.

Hello!
I know we have gotten conflicting information about the next dress down day.  We have double checked and here is the scoop!  This Friday will NOT be a dress down day.  But NEXT Friday, November 10th, will be a dress down day for any students who bring in 5 cans.

We are still collecting cans until then.  Your student can keep bringing them in each morning.  We have a spot to collect them in the classroom.  There will be rewards for the grade that collects the most cans.
