Happy Monday everyone!  I hope you enjoyed your weekend!  I just wanted to let you know that there is math and language arts homework tonight.  Homework is given to reinforce concepts being learned in school.  The best way to help your child with homework is to have them complete it without your help.  Then, sit down with your child and go over the answers. If one is incorrect, take a few minutes to explain to them how to do it and have them write the correct answer.  This is the best way to do homework with your child because it allows them to complete it independently and receive extra help if they need it.

Homework is due tomorrow and needs to be turned in. In math, students will need to complete the number line.  Numbers are constantly repeating themselves.  In language arts, students will need to circle the letter that needs to be capitalized in the sentence.  Then find where that letter goes in the space above.  Finally, whatever the answer is to the riddle, they must draw a picture of it in the space provided.

Book Orders went home today.  This is a great way to motivate your child to read at home every night!  I always loved getting new books and I bet your child will, too!

Today, people from the Red Wings organization came to discuss how important it is to stay in school and to do your best!  It was a great assembly.  Ask your child about it:)

 

Math Homework- Put together a money math kit and bring to school tomorrow in  the Ziploc bag I gave you with your name on it. 

You will need –

           4 quarters

           10 dimes

           10 nickels

           10 pennies

It is important that you have a money kit because we will use the money to learn how to count money in different activities.

Also, parents please fill out the emergency card and bring have your child bring it back to school tomorrow.  It is important that we have updated information in case we have to call you.  Thanks!

Welcome back to school everyone!  I hope you had a fabulous weekend, and I hope you enjoyed the holiday:)

I would like to thank all the parents who came to watch the video today of your child participating in classroom activities throughout the school year!  If you were unable to make it, don’t worry because I will be sending home a copy for your child to keep and you can watch it with your child at home!

I will say hide and you will write the irregular past tense hid.  I will say stand and you will write the irregular past tense stood.  I will not be saying the irregular past tense but you will have to write it.

Just a friendly reminder that I will be showing the movie staring the students of room 112 today at 2:15!  Please check in the office and join us.  We will begin at 2:15 so that we will have enough time to watch the entire movie!  Hope to see you today!!!

The field trip to the Dearborn Historical Museum was very educational and interesting, and we had a great time today!  It was great being able to actually see items that we have talked about in our classroom throughout the year!  Please ask your child what they learned about Dearborn’s past today and then asked them what they are growing in their little planting pots!  In the fall, you will have either corn, beans, or a giant pumpkin.  In the next few weeks, you should plant it in the yard somewhere or a much bigger pot so it will have space to grow.  Then just give it plenty of sun and water and watch your plants grow!
