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.

We check-out books on Wednesday this week.

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 :)

Week of December 14th

Well, our three snow days pushed our schedule around a bit. I chose not to give the spelling test Friday because we hadn't had very much time to practice the words in school. So, I will be giving that spelling test on Tuesday the 15th.

I will send home new spelling words on Tuesday and I will test these words as usual on Friday the 18th. Please let me know if you have any questions about this.

We will have homework Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday this week.

We check-out at the library on Wednesday.

*WINTER REMINDERS*

*Please be sure to send snowpants and boots as well as coats, mittens, hats, etc with your child. We will have outdoor recess most days even with the snow, so it's important to send these items.

*As winter storms approach be sure to check the news stations or the district website for school delays and cancellation information. In the event of an early dismissal due to snow I will attempt to contact all parents to make arrangements for dismissal. Please email or send a note to let me know your preferred method for contacting you during the day. Email and/or your daytime phone number are usually best.

Thank you!
