During our Morning Meeting each student will have a time where they can share. We will start with a greeting and then students will have two minutes to tell a story, show or talk about something they would like to bring to share with the class. They will ask for three questions or comments. If they are bringing in an item to share, it must fit in their backpack.

Mondays: Davis, Nolan, Audrey and Connor

In Math:
We are starting Unit 2 in Math Expressions. Your child is working on a geometry unit. We will use centimeter rulers to measure lines, draw shapes and find perimeters of shapes. You can help you child link geometry concepts learned in school with the real world. Encourage your child to find examples of rectangles, squares, and triangles in your home or neighborhood. Look for shapes in books, road signs, food packaging, newspaper pages, window panes, the front of your home.....everywhere.
We also started math fluency timed tests. Everyone loved them!
