Fluency Is Key

More Snow?!

The added daylight in the evening is telling me that we should be seeing signs of Spring any day now.  Any...day...now!  Instead we are expecting....snow! 


Fluency

Last week, students took various math assessments to check for enduring understanding of math concepts already taught this year and to check on the fluency of different math operations.  I will be emailing families with areas of weakness that students can practice.  Increasing research shows that when students are fluent with the basic math operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, confidence and success in math grows.  I will also offer to send home extra practice in the areas of weakness.  If you do not hear from me, that means that your child is solid across the board.  Feel free to email me though if you have any concerns or questions.

Book Order

Due to the impending snow, I will hold the book order until Thursday.  If you wish to order online, the classroom code is H3M9C.

Math Vocabulary Test

The vocabulary assessment has been pushed back to this Thursday, giving students more time to study!

Engineering

We will be starting our engineering project this week!  Thank you so much for all of the donations sent into school.  The only item that we need more of in order to make this project happen is soil.  If you have any bags of soil or are willing to purchase any, it would be greatly appreciated!

Chromebooks

You may recall in the Fall that our classroom was given $500 towards Chromebooks by donors through a website called Adopt a Classroom.  I received word last night that we were adopted again!  Another 3 Chromebooks are on their way to be used by students every day.  We couldn't be more excited!
