Dear
Parents,
Enclosed is
your child’s last math test. I gave less support on this test. The
first page is a copy of your child’s test. I graded this copy. The
second page is the original test. We went over the test as a class and
made any necessary changes. Students were tested on counting tally
marks, counting coins, telling time, addition and subtraction. The last
question on the test is not a good test question so we did it together.
The new unit is Visual Patterns, Number Patterns, and Counting. Also
enclosed is an overview of the new unit. Please take a few minutes to
read it over.
We’ve successful completed our first
theme test. Next week we will begin a new reading unit called “The
World Outside My Door.” It includes stories called My River, Citybook,
and Listen to the Desert. Also poems such as “Sleeping Outdoors,” and
“I Love the World.” Over the next few weeks, you will see four books
come home: Our Plants, A Fish Trip, A Walk in the City and Hats Hats
Hats. These books will include new vocabulary words. Enclosed is a
list of the vocabulary words.
On Friday we
will walk to the Onekama Public Library. Please be sure that your child
returns his/her books by Thursday because I’ll return book back to the
library after school. If your child’s books are returned, then he/she
will be able to check out three new books. We will leave at 11:45 and
should return by 1:30 p.m. If you are able to join us, then we would
love your help.
Parent-teacher conferences are on Tuesday, Nov. 25th and
Wednesday, Nov. 26th just before Thanksgiving. Students will
be dismissed early on Tuesday at 12:30 p.m. Conferences begin at 5 – 8
p.m. On Wednesday there is no school for students. Conferences will be
held from 8 – 11 a.m. Please call Mary Bergren at 889-9674 to make your
appointment. |
For those of
you who like to shop online, I’ve learned about a new website that will
benefit our school. This website is Box Tops for Education. They have
links to other popular web sites such as Target, Lands End, Limited Too,
Disney, GAP, Shutterfly, and many others. They donated a percentage of
the sale back to our school. You will need to sign up in order for us
to receive the benefits. Please check out the following web site:
