Math: Last week, we finished unit 6 and took the assessment on multiplying and dividing large numbers. This week, we will work on unit 7/lessons 1-3. Extra practice at home using the IXL textbook will be helpful to reinforce these essential standards, especially for those who struggle. Additional IM resources(the workbook we use) can be found HERE.

Shoes & Boots: Due to the mud and wet conditions, students need to bring boots and a pair of shoes to school to change into after recess. Thanks for your help with this!

Things to remember daily:

  • safe snack(in the package with the label please)
  • good fit book with bookmark

Birthdays - Students bringing in treats for birthdays must stick to the safe snacks list. Homemade treats are not allowed. Store-bought items must be sent to me ahead of time. Please include a picture of the front of the package/container and the label on the back. We have nut, egg, and dairy allergies in our room. Thanks!

Once the reading is finished, students need to record the minutes and pages read. Please sign your initials on the bookmark. The bookmark is not intended to be a reading log. Research does not support the use of reading logs to promote life-long readers. It's meant to track each child's reading rate to ensure they are finishing the books they start. This is one example of how students can earn "yards" and eventually score a touchdown! This is als...

                                                                Report Cards : Report cards and fall NWEA scores will be sent home on Monday, November 27th. 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" which is considered at grade level. 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...

In an effort to get the whole school involved, we are having a penny war competition. Kids are encouraged to bring in pennies for the next three weeks.
