Wednesday, Sept. 11

Another hot day and hard-working students!!

LEFT at Home:

  • Parent Letter (Math): Find out what we'll be working on in the next part of this unit - especially with our work with Math Mountains.
  • Math Mountain Flash Cards pages: Cut these out and keep them at home to practice finding totals and/or partners!  Keep them in a ziplock bag for safe-keeping and easy access.
  • YMCA Workshop letter (Yellow)
  • Dance Classes (Pink)
  • 100% Math Papers! :)
  • GirlScout information (for some of my special friends) :D
RIGHT Back to School
  • Mini Notebook: We're keeping track of "small moments" for our writing.
  • Math Homework: Remembering 1-2 (Odd):  Students should have highlighted #1, 3, and 5

Our Day:
  • Daily 5/CAFE:  Today we reviewed our reading strategies and continued to build our Read to Self stamina.  We are up to 8 minutes!! WOW!
  • Computers:  We took our first timed (15-minute) YPP test today.  We will be taking 3 more in the next few weeks.
  • Practiced our Fire Drill
  • Math: We are still working on Math Mountains and writing equations, relating addition and subtraction.  There are 8 different equations they may choose to write for each Mountain (and sometimes they provide one), but are only required on their homework to write up to 2 different equations for the same Mountain.
  • Writer's Workshop:  Today we received our mini notebooks to keep track of "small moments." This will be coming home most nights - just in case!!!  You never know when an AMAZING small moment will come along.
  • Gym: After 3 years of calling this special "P.E. or Phy. Ed.,"  I am now re-learning to call it "Gym."  Please work with your child on tying their shoes!  By Winter Break, I am hoping all of my students will be great resources for tying shoes!
Tomorrow we have art and music! :)
