Parent Teacher Conferences

Thank you so much for attending your child’s conference and all your support from home this first trimester.  Research has shown that kids do much better in school when their parents play an active role in their education.  A little of your time – every day – makes a big difference.  Parents who ask daily about school and check over schoolwork send a powerful message about the value of learning.  I appreciate all you do to support your children! 

 

Pajama Day/Read-In Friday

In celebration of the end of the 1st Trimester and all their hard work, we are going to do a READ-IN on Friday! Your child can wear pajamas to school and bring some extra books from home.  They can also bring a pillow or something soft to lay on and an extra healthy snack. 

 

Cold Weather

Now that we are getting into colder weather patterns, please check the weather so that your child has the necessary clothing--boots (when there is snow on the ground), hats, coats, and gloves/mittens--to be going out for recess.  We do go out most days unless it is raining or below zero wind chills!

 

Multiplication Facts

Please continue weekly multiplication fact practice from home.  We started with the 0s, 1s, 2s, 5s, and 10s, but will now continue on to 3’s and 4’s.   We are working on these in class, but many students will benefit from additional practice at home.  Resources to use include:  IXL F Skills, Flashcards, using items at home to make equal groups (for our more visual learners) examples would be: pennies, beads, popsicle sticks, etc.

 

Positivity Project Character Strength:  Gratitude

This week’s character strength is gratitude.  You are aware of and thankful for good things that happen in your life.

 

What we are learning this week!

Math- Unit 3:  Adding/Subtracting within 1,000
