I have had three iPad stylus’ taken off my desk in the past few days along with a bag of Pokemon cards taken that belong to a student. Please check your child’s backpack and talk with them about respecting other people’s property. Thanks so much for your support!
I hope everyone had a wonderful long Labor Day weekend! The extra rest was wonderful! This week we are starting math homework for the week and turning in a reading log. The nice part about the math homework is that you can complete the one sheet anytime throughout the week. We will start spelling next week. We have to finalize some testing this week before we start the spelling homework. So, look out for that next Monday on the homework post.
I sent home a copy of the September poems today. Students need to study, memorize and pass off one poem a month. Students also need to read a chapter book in September, and complete a Great Brain Report by the end of the month. The students can turn it in anytime throughout the month. They will stand and present it in front of the class. Both the monthly poem and Great Brain Report are required and graded assignments.
I will be assigning Prodigy starting the week of Labor Day. I have access to all of the students work that they do. I can see how many minutes they were on the game and how many problems that they have answered. If you do not have access to the internet, I will have an alternative options available. The students can get on and start playing on www.prodigygame.com as soon as they would like. The class code is GTM29S.
I hope everyone had a fabulous weekend!! Last week was a great first full week of school. We are not officially starting homework until next week. You children should be reading 20 minutes every night, but you do not need to send the reading log back to school until next week when we start homework. Thanks so much for all the hard work this last week!
In math, we are working on place value, comparing numbers, ordering numbers. We will also be moving on to rounding this week. Rounding is pretty tricky for most students, so we will work very hard on it this week!
**Reminder:This Friday, September 2nd is a short day with 1:00 dismissal. IT IS NOT A DRESS DOWN DAY!!!! Next Monday, September 5th is Labor Day and there is NO SCHOOL.
We sent a food permission slip home with your children today. It was last minute, and we are sorry for the last minute notice. Please fill out the food permission slip and return tomorrow, August 25th. Your child cannot eat the food or handle the food in the math lesson without the food permission slip returned. Thanks so much for being flexible!
I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! We are excited for our first full week of school! There will be no math or spelling homework until after Labor Day. Please do make sure your child is reason 20 minutes per night though. That is super important for them to get in the habit of now! Thanks for all your help and support!
