Goal Getters
When we meet our goal, we will celebrate with extra recess.
The class decided our unknown partner bean game would be a great tool to take home and practice to meet this goal.
Currently, a few students were absent when we took the solving for the unknown in equations part of the test. From what I have, 84% of students can solve for the unknown in addition and subtraction equations! This week we will review and test the story problems section.
Chromebook Rules
PLEASE do not let your child use their chromebook at home unless it is an AMI day. The chromebook should only come out of the backpack to be charged (I recommend just keeping it inside the backpack while charging). I receive daily notifications about time spent and sites visited by students on their school chromebooks and noticed that some were on it during Thanksgiving break. Thank you for your help with this!
Reminders from Mrs. C
- The weather is getting colder! Please make sure your kiddo has their name in all of their cold-weather gear. This makes it easier to locate in the lost & found as well as telling same items from different students apart.
- Snack Days: Here is a digital copy of our monthly snack calendar. We will not be having a snack on Friday due to early release. Please send a 15 count, prepackaged, store bought snack with your student on their snack day. Please make sure snack is easy to eat while working (unless it's a birthday). If you are unable to or forget, we will have an extras box to choose from. Our lunch is early and we hope that an afternoon snack will help us get an extra energy boost to focus on our afternoon learning!
Thank you for your help and please contact me with any questions!
