Celebration of Learning Week

Sorry for any confusion last week with booking times! Monday the 10^th is the day that you can start booking your timeslots for Thursday evening! Please choose a 20 minute timeslot between 5:30 and 7:30 that works best for you! I really hope to see you all there. Our class has been working hard and they are such an awesome group of students. They have a lot they would like to share with you.

Interviews

If you feel the need to have a more private conversation with me about your child please let me know so that we can arrange a time for the following week. You can e-mail me or tell me at the Celebration of Learning! I am happy to make time to answer questions etc.

Report Cards

Report Cards will be sent home on Friday the 14^th! Please use this as a time to CELEBRATE first all of the success and then perhaps set a few goals for the end of the school year.

C.A.R.E Unit

We have begun our conversations about personal safety and our bodies being private. The students were extremely mature and I was happy to hear that they have been having these types of conversations at home.

Challenge Questions:

Get a parent to confirm in your agenda that you have shown them how to add 43+38= and 28+ 59= on a 100 Chart. Hint: Do not count by ones! Make your jumps down with your tens and to the right with your ones. Print a chart off the internet or take one home from school if you would like one!

Solve: If Mr. Bryant scored 32 points in a basketball game and Mr. Platt scored 49, how many points did they score altogether? Show the steps to get 4 points!

How do you like to add Grade 2? Do you like rods and cubes? Do you like to use the 100 chart? Are you comfortable with standard regrouping? Do you know what standard regrouping is? If you don’t that is just fine! (some students are catching on to regrouping without pictures or manipulatives but most are not there YET!)
