UMAC - December 4, 2015
Hello UMAC Families,
Progress reports will be available on ParentVue starting December 11. Progress reports will not be printed and sent home, they will only be accessible online only. If you have trouble accessing your child’s report card, please call the help desk line at 815-788-5080 or email hd@d47.org
All of the schools in District 47 have the same guidelines for determining if recess will be indoors or outdoors. If the temperature is 15 degrees or above, students are expected to go outside for the entire recess. If the temperature is 0 - 14 degrees, students go outside for 20 minutes. If the temperature is below 0 degrees, students have indoor recess. Please make sure your student is dressed appropriately for the winter weather.
Have a wonderful weekend!

MAP testing is done!
**If your child was absent for either of the testing dates, there will be make-up testing before winter break.

Math....
Old Friends: Our old friends completed unit 4 this week. We can definitely tell that many friends have been practicing their math facts! Keep up the great work. When able to recall facts quickly and accurately students are much more successful in tackling more complex problems. Next week we will dive into unit 5 which focuses on fractions, decimals, and percents.
New Friends: This week we quickly learned the importance of knowing our facts! We had many opportunities to practice multiplying two digit by two digit numbers. Please ask your child how we remember the magic zero when multiplying in the tens column.
