January 23: Newsletter

Happy Friday!

Here is the newsletter for the week:

Newsletter

Other News:
  • We are still looking for 2 more volunteers to help with our classroom Valentine's Day party.  Please let me know if you are interested.
  • Thank you for the donations of Clorox wipes!  I have a feeling we will use them up quickly!  We have a few containers stocked up.  Thank you for the donations.
  • I wanted to give you a heads up about this week's math homework.  I anticipate that it will be more difficult than most other homework pages.  The homework pages have your child subtract from a 3-digit number.  We have worked on this in class; however, this is a concept that we will have to practice for a LONG time to fully master.  I have sent only two math pages home.  Please take your time to work through the problems with your child.  It will be important for your child to use the same strategy for each problem (ungroup first or expanded method).  Also, they should make sure they have a matching proof drawing.  The proof drawing is a concrete way to see the actual subtraction process.  They just can't forget to show their work numerically as well.  Please do not let these pages be overwhelming or frustrating.  If this is happening at home, let me know and we will finish them at school with some guided help.
