Just a few updates that I wanted everyone to be aware of:
* ALL parent conference forms and parent feedback forms are due back to me NO LATER than Monday, Oct. 4.
* Please be sure to read your child's planner each evening and review their homework - some students are having trouble remembering to bring homework home and/or bring the work back the next day. Reinforce good homework and organization habits for your child!
* We are working on Ch. 4 (Subtraction) in math - students who scored 90% or more on the Unit 2 pre-test are allowed to work on independent contracts with more challenging work. A number of students are experiencing difficulties in re-grouping - I am teaching them two different ways to re-group...both from the left to the right, and right to left. Regardless of the method used, I expect ALL students to show their regrouping with their problems.
* A book report was assigned today - it must be an historical fiction book at least 100 pages long. Some children are confused about this genre, so we discussed it in class today. The book must be approved by me by next Monday.
* We will start reading "Island of the Blue Dolphins" as a class novel this week. Your child is allowed to bring this book home to complete various activities, but will be responsible for the replacement cost if they lose it, so please help them keep track of the book.
