Guest Reading for March

To celebrate March is Reading Month, we would like to invite parents, grandparents, aunts or uncles to come read a book to our class.

You will need to bring one book to read to the class.  Please do not bring in snacks or treats.  Your visit is a treat in and of itself!  Plan on about 15 minutes to spend with our class.  Make sure to sign in at the office and you’re on your way!

Book Fair This Week!

This week, Haigh will be hosting a Scholastic Book Fair.  Our class will be going to check it all out together on Monday morning.  Students may purchase books at that time or create a wish list which will be included in their planners for your reference.  I am able to send students down to the book fair individually throughout the week to make purchases as well.  Thank you for your support of our Haigh PTA with this book fair!

Area Test Wednesday

We have our area test on Wednesday and we have spent the past 2 days reviewing in class.  I reviewed the study guide with the students today and had the students write about everything they have learned about area.  I’ve included the answers to the study guide that I sent home today for homework.

Have your child complete the study guide independently and then you can review the answers together.  To help your child study you can do the following things:

  • If there is anything that your child gets wrong, ask them to explain his/her thinking and you will find that he/she finds the mistake quickly.
  • Ask questions like–Does this makes sense?  How do you know you’re right?  Have you thought about this part?  These will help guide your child’s problem-solving.  Remember, understanding how you get the answer is more important than getting the right answer.
  • We can never eliminate silly mistakes completely, but we can show that what we think makes sense on a math test by showing our work and writing about what we know.  Much of our math now is about students explaining their thinking.

I will review the study guides with the class before we take the test, so if there are any glaring issues, write a note on your child’s study guide and we’ll be sure to go over it.
