I am still missing some and would like to collect them all so I can pack them away until the end of 2nd trimester. Weather:  All kids need a coat, snow pants, a hat, & gloves daily. An extra pair of socks and shoes would be helpful for wet weather. If you are in need of cold weather items for your child, please let me know. I'm happy to help! Math:  Last week we finished lessons 3 & 4. This week we will work on lessons 5 - 9. Extra practice using the IXL textbook is available for those who struggle.

                                                                 Report Cards : Report cards will be coming home on this week. It's important to keep in mind a couple of things. First, if your child is not a "3", the goal is to get there by the end of 4th grade. Students develop at their own pace. Second, students will continue to get individualized and group intervention in the areas below a "3". Also, in math, and reading, there are ways to practice at home, which is probably necessary if the practice at school is not enough to master these goals. Students who are struggling with fractions need multiplication and division fluency. Please consider helping your child practice these facts to memory. In reading it's equally important for your child to read consistently with a book that is not too easy or too hard at his/...

                                                                              Friday:   To celebrate all our hard work this trimester, we will have a read-in this Friday. Students may wear pajamas and bring a blanket or pillow to cozy up with while reading. Students may also bring extra books from home because they will be reading most of the half day! EL:     As shared at Back to School Night, we are piloting new ELA  instructional materials in grades K-5. This resource offers a rigorous and balanced literacy approach for our learners, engaging students in reading, writing, listening and speaking. While our commitment to addressing essential ELA standards has not changed, the order and manner in which standards are assessed in this p...

                                                                                Weather: With the change in weather, please make sure your child has a hat, gloves, a coat, and dresses in layers. We also ask that if possible an extra pair of shoes or boots stay in the locker for recess on wet days. We allow them to play in the grass when it's wet, only if they have a change of shoes. This new carpet still looks great and we sit on the floor a lot in our room. Thanks for your help with this!  Music:   Here is the recorder  link  in case you want to complete it online. All orders are due by Monday, November 18th.  Math:  This week we finished lessons 7-10. This week we will work on lessons 11-15. Extra practice using the IXL...
