Mrs. Hladun's Tidings
- please be sure to label your child/ren's sweatshirts and jackets. Cool morning and warm afternoons lead to a stuffed Lost & Found! Our L & F is always available in the MPR.
- we have an amazing fall carnival coming up on Fri., 10/26 - the coordinators have 5 more spots available for the trunk or treat cars; email Shannon at watchdogslce@gmail.com to claim one or with questions
- we are still monitoring the air quality - especially on warm days we are watchful for kiddos who have sensitivity to pollutants in the air
School Site Council Forming Now!
Hot Lunch
students can only get in the hot lunch line if they've NOTIFIED THEIR TEACHER
that they are getting hot lunch that morning
It's important to our food service team that all children who requested hot lunch in the later grades get access to it, but sometimes we have more children getting into the hot lunch than our counts tell us to plan for. Our lunch menu is posted below and Wednesday is always pizza day (super popular!!!).
Food For Thought - Math Instruction & HW
We sometimes hear about the challenges around Math homework from families. Here are some resources to help you support your child with his/her Math - one of the best things is to ask them how they might tackle a problem - you'll probably find that our students are being taught tools and strategies that we've never heard of before...in our day :), we were often taught the 'rules' of an algorithm and shortcuts, and today children are asked to understand number sense and how numbers work together. No wonder if feels like we are talking in different languages!
- Considering Math: Number talks - scroll down about 1/2 way to see some great ways you can better understand how your child approaches math
- Resources around Math instruction from the CA Department of Education
- Article about how to support your child when math HW is making your head spin!
- The Khan Academy has amazing videos about all levels of math from pre-k to college with easy understand videos - great for parents and kids!
If you/your child is struggling, talk with your child's teacher and/or check your teacher's website - we all want your student to succeed!
