I wanted to send out a note to let you know that we will be checking out books on Monday next week. Due to the half day on Friday, we will not have our regular library time. Please have students return books on Monday so they will be able to check-out.
Also, I wanted to let you know that we have met a class goal this week. We had 12 out of 16 students score at the proficient or advanced level on our most recent unit test for reading. We are all very excited and we will be having a pajama day next week on Thursday, February 4th. Please watch for a note with more information about this. It will be in student mail today.
I hope everyone has great weekends :)

Week of January 25th
This week we have homework on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
Monday's homework has a note at the top about an attached letter for more information. I do not send home these letters so if students have trouble understanding the name-collection boxes please make a note on their homework and send it back the next day. I will make sure to help them with that homework. We are spending our full math hour today working on name-collection boxes, so I'm hoping that most students will be able to remember the basic concept so they will be able to do their homework.
Friday's homework does not need to be returned to school. I don't usually give homework on Friday, but since this doesn't need to be returned, I am making an exception. You will receive many other fact triangle sheets like this one as this and the next unit in math continues. These are meant to be cut out and used as flash cards. We will have a set here at school, and this is a set for you to have at home. Cutting these out and keeping them in an envelope near the tv or bed is a great idea. Pull them out and do a quick practice during commercial breaks or right before students go to bed at night. The more practice they get with basic facts the easier other concepts in math will be as they move on through school. If you have any questions about the fact triangles please let me know.

Week of Jan 4th
Well, from what the students are saying it sounds like everyone had a great break. I hope you all had a good holiday as well.
This week we will have homework Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday.
We will check-out library books on Wednesday.
Students will also be bringing home a snowman in a plastic sleeve. These are the same as the trees we decorated before the break. Students can decorate the snowman and return it to school. I will then hang them on their lockers. Please return the snowmen in the plastic sleeve, and as before, please no food items that could become moldy. I will be putting these in student scrapbooks that are sent home at the end of the year. Thank you :)
