Bauters' Bulletin
August
Welcome
Emailed Newsletters
This year, you will be receiving the newsletter by email. This will have lots of important information regarding curriculum. I will add the things that we are studying, upcoming events, and any other important information that we need to send out to you. This email will be sent out monthly. Any immediate information needed will be sent in a email along the way.
This newsletter should have been sent to the email address that you provided me with already this year. If you did NOT receive this as an email, please let me know with a note sent with your child, or email me tbauters@hse.k12.in.us!
Reading and Writing
Math
In math, we will work on addition and subtraction strategies along with number sense. We will be doing many kinds of practice including playing games, using tools, and reviewing strategies to help us remember our math facts. Please have your child practice their math facts at home! We will start rocket math soon. I will assess each student in number sense, addition and subtraction strategies, and math facts so that I can differentiate instruction based on each student's needs.
Wanted
Sometimes the activities in the art room are messy. Please consider sending in an old shirt for your child to wear during art class. The shirt will be kept in your child’s classroom and will be worn only by your child. Thank you!
Additional Donations Needed:
We are in need of new or gently used board games for indoor recess. This can be anything your child currently likes to play (Legos, Operation, Make Me Laugh, Guess Who, etc.)
I also put up flyers for the Ice Cream Social to purchase magazines for the classroom. The titles are Dynamath and Storyworks. They are extremely engaging with high quality content. They'll be used for stations and partner work. They even come with interactive digital resources for games, stories, videos, and more. I only need four more parents to donate to get a class set of each! Please send cash or a check made payable to DynaMath in the amount of $7.69 to help us get 8 issues, or send cash or a check made payable to Storyworks in the amount of $7.69. This is completely optional and just another great resource to use in the room. You can look at the links below to see examples. Please don't feel obligated!
