Week 6: Math Unit 2, Weekly Comments and Water Bottles

We began Unit 2 in Math. The above picture shows the key vocabulary that will be used throughout the unit. Your child has these cut into cards, and they are kept in an envelop in their homework folder as a reference tool.

Starting today, October 7, I will include a weekly comment at the bottom of your child’s homework folders. Please expect to see a comment every Friday except for the week before a major holiday (Winter, Mid-Winter and Spring breaks). Please review it and sign the bottom of the homework sheet so that I know you have seen it. These comments as intended to give just a brief idea of how your child is doing during the preceding week. The check mark on the check list indicates that your child has demonstrated this behavior consistently and productively. 

Many students bring water bottles to school, which is a great idea as it minimizes the need to exit the room to use the water fountain. Please fill the bottle with only water. Juice and other sugary beverages often get spilled and it is not often cleaned properly, which leads to a messy floor. Thank you for your cooperation.

Here are some events of note for next week:

• Schools will be closed on Monday in observance of Columbus Day.
• We will visit the Armory on Tuesday. Please have your child dressed for running and playing. 
• Schools will be closed on Wednesday in observance of Yom Kippur.
