Week 5 Reminders

Wow!  Halfway through marking period 1! As always, I can never get over how quickly the school year zips by.  On Friday there is early release.  I will work on Interim reports to update you on your child's progress and they will come home next week.  Please feel free to contact me with questions.

We reviewed last week's math challenge yesterday.  I apologize that we do not have any pictures to share of our solutions.  Many children were able to solve the different equations- a great little introduction to algebraic concepts.  We discussed why these problems had only one solution and so many of our other challenge problems have had multiple solutions. 

Some students are still struggling a bit with subtraction.  Consider creating an account for your child on Kahn Academy (link at the left) and having them view some of the tutorials and do some of the practice examples.

Some quick reminders:
  • At this point in the marking period, you student should have turned in at least 1 reading chart.  By October 30, students need to have turned in 3 reading charts.
  • The Marking Period 1 Homework Project will be assigned next week.  Nightly homework will be shortened to allow time to work on the project across the month of October.  Please e-mail me with questions.
  • Please place all Scholastic Book Orders by this Friday. The link to order online is at the left of this page.  You can also send in cash and I will place your order for you.
  • All Spirit Wear orders are due next Friday.
