Hello
and welcome to the last week of 1st quarter! I can't believe how fast this quarter has
gone by!
I'm
looking forward to seeing all of you after Fall Break at PARENT TEACHER CONFERENCES.
Please make sure that you sign up for one by my door. I have conferences ranging from 7 AM to 5:30
PM. Every
parent needs to meet with me. I am
getting this out several weeks in advance in case you need to make any
arrangements for work. Conferences
shouldn't take any longer than 20
minutes, so it isn't too much time out of your day. This is the
only time I will require you meet with me, so please make sure this gets
taken care of. You can email, call, or
sign up in person.
In
math, we will finish up our unit on estimation and then review for the test on
Wednesday, which will cover multiples, factors, prime/composite numbers,
integers, divisibility rules, and estimation.
It will be a huge component of your child's math grade.
In
reading, we will finish our Maniac Magee projects, most of which are posters
promoting racial tolerance. Several
students decided to do a graphic novel or a monologue instead. I am very much looking forward to seeing
their finished products!
In
writing, we will continue to work on organization and sticking to the main
idea.
On
Tuesday, your child will have the opportunity to present their biography
projects. Many students requested this,
so I decided to include it!
PLEASE
REMEMBER THAT FRIDAY IS A HALF DAY AND THERE IS NO LUNCH AND NO
AFTERSCHOOL. YOU NEED TO PICK UP YOUR
CHILD PROMPTLY AT 11:30.
There
is no spelling homework, but there will be two days of math homework, as well
as a social studies assignment involving the Scholastic News newspapers.
Have
a great week and a WONDERFUL Fall Break!
