Week of February 28th

This week we will have homework 6.3 on Tuesday and 6.4 on Wednesday. The sheet on Wednesday will be the first of many like it. These are fact family triangles and are a type of flashcard. The idea is that you will cut them out and then use them to practice addition and subtraction facts. You do not need to return them or any work to school, but I do ask that you spend 5-10 minutes a night practicing with the triangles. You will see at least 2 more sheets of these triangles as the year goes on to add to your collection for practicing.

This week is a review week for reading. During a review week we do not have new vocabulary words, so there will be no challenge words for spelling this week. We will have them again starting next week.

Reminder that we do not have school on Friday, March 4th or Monday, March 7th.

Thank you, and as always, please let me know if you have any questions.

Week of February 21st

Hello, hope everyone had a good weekend.

I will be sending home report cards with students on Tuesday. Please take a moment to look at them before your child's conference on Thursday, February 24th, or Tuesday, March 1st. If you have any questions about the report card I will be able to answer them at your child's conference.

This week we will have homework 6.1 on Tuesday and 6.2 on Wednesday.

Also, due to the early dismissal today, we will be checking out books on Wednesday instead of Monday. If your child has not already returned their books, they should do so by Wednesday to get to check out new ones.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Week of February 14th

Happy Valentine's Day. All the kids are very excited for our party this afternoon.

We will not be having any homework this week. I have a district math assessment that is going to take a few days to administer, so we will take a break from homework for the week.

I do want to remind you, that February 21st, a week from today, will be a snow make-up day, it will also be an early dismissal of 1:30.

Thank you for all that you do for your child. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Week of February 7th

This Tuesday I will be sending home notes about your conference time. Please check this time with your schedule and return it to school as soon as possible. The sooner I get any notes about needing changes, the easier it will be to get you scheduled for a time that will work. I also want to remind you that conferences are student involved and students should attend with parents when possible. Please let me know if you have any questions about conferences.

This week we will have homework 5.13 on Tuesday. We did not do this homework last week due to the snow day.

I will also be sending home a note tonight about our Valentine's Day/Friendship Party. The note will have our class list on the back. I am asking that if students choose to bring valentine's for their classmates, that they not bring them to school until Friday of this week.

As always, please let me know if you have any questions or if I can help in any way. I hope everyone has a great week. Thank you for all that you do for your child.
