Thank you to all of the parents who came to parent teacher conferences tonight.  I am very grateful that everyone was on time and everything ran smoothly.  It is wonderful to work with such a great group of parents that are engaged in their child’s education 🙂

Homework tonight:

1. Read for 20 minutes
2. Practice your spelling words- your spelling test is tomorrow.
3. Next week we begin working on telling time and counting change (money).  If you are looking for some activities to help your child, have them count change when you go to the store or tell you the time using an analog clock (the type with two hands).  This will motivate them and they can connect it to real life skills.

Hello Parents:

If you have not already signed and returned your child’s math and science test to school please do so.  This ensures that I know you saw your child’s grade.  I checked the signatures today the tests have been returned to your child- some students have brought them home and some children hung them up because they were proud of them.

Parent teacher conferences start tomorrow from 4:00-7:00.  If you cannot make your assigned time please call the school and let me know- I have some parents who need a new time slot and if you cannot attend I would like them to be able to come and plan accordingly.  If your conference is next week you will get a call from me next week reminding you.  EVERY student got a conference paper invite Monday to take home with your conference date and time on it.  If your child didn’t bring their’s home please call me or send a note and I will make you a new one.

Homework tonight:

1. Finish spelling- 4 Bingo activities due tomorrow!
2. Math PPS page 105-106

We have a science and math test tomorrow.  We did science Jeopardy today and the students did very well but they still need to practice the study guide at testmoz.com/924951.  Remember practice makes perfect.

Every student took home their math study guide last Friday- they have had 6 days to practice.  Just in case they lost it our test is on even and odd numbers, fact families, writing a number sentence for a story problem, adding with a number line, and drawing a picture to represent the addition problem.  Happy Studying 🙂
