Reflection for September 28, 2011

Late start days always go by in a blink of an eye, and today was no different!  We spent a good chunk of our morning discussing census and how to interpret data based upon the 1790 census.  There is some math homework based upon this information, and all students were advised to bring their SRB (Student Reference Book) home to complete their assignment.  We also reviewed the concept of equivalent fractions.  I encourage students to visit my blog for some practice with this topic.

As you know, the MEAP is bearing down on us, and we have a program in place to help your child brush up on his/her skills!  It is Study Island, a web-based computer program available for home use.  I encourage students to work on the 4th grade standards that they have not yet completed in preparation.  Every student has a username and password.  Please help remind your child to practice on Study Island daily.

I hope to see you all at the Parent Meeting that is taking place in the Media Center today at 3:00!
