| Dear Parents, Enclosed is your
child’s “Unit 1 Checking Progress.” Last
Thursday students took a math test. The content covered
was tally marks, more than, larger number and number
writing. Most students had little trouble. If your child
has some area(s) of difficulty, then s/he worked with me
one-on-one to correct any incorrect answers. We have
begun a new mathematics unit called “Everyday Uses
of Numbers.” Students will learn about three
specific uses of numbers in real-world contexts: the use
of numbers in telephone numbers, in telling time, and in
counting money. Your child will learn how to interpret
the various parts of a telephone number (the area code,
the prefix, and the last four digits), how to tell time
on the hour, and how to count collections of nickels and
pennies. On Tuesday we will walk to the Onekama Fire Department. We will focus on two lessons. The first is fire safety. October is fire safety month. The second is career awareness. Students will learn about a fire fighters job. If your schedule permits, please feel free to join us. |
If you have not sent in a new
audiocassette tape with your child, then please do so
soon. These tapes will be used to record your child
reading throughout the year. You will be able to listen
to your child’s tape at student-led conference in
the spring and can keep them at the end of the school
year. Book orders are due tomorrow. Please make check to Scholastic. No cash please!! The following are dates that you may want to add to your calendar:
Warmly, Shantel |
