Monday Madness

Hi everyone!

I hope you had a great week end.

Tonight's Homework:

• Spelling: Unit 22 sentences
• Math:  Only some students have math homework tonight.  Last week, while I was at my math seminar, the students had to complete a review involving equivalent fractions.  Those students who were able to complete the review with a 90% or above have no math homework.  Their papers will be displayed in the hallway with our fraction display.  Those who scored lower need to correct their mistakes AND show their evidence for their correction.  They can draw a picture, do the math, etc.  They MUST show some sort of proof that their answer is correct this time.  Congratulations to the 9 students who have mastered equivalent fractions!  Enjoy your night off!

Other Important Information:

• For those who did not get my message on the dojo, I made a decision this morning while thinking about the activities for this week.  We are behind in science, so since it is a short week, and I know students will want to pass out Valentines on Friday, I've decided to cancel GROW for this week only.  There will be no quiz on Friday.
• Permissions slips are coming home today for our candy sale fundraiser.  If you would like your child to participate, please fill it out and send it back to school.
• Valentine's Day is Saturday.  If the students keep up good behavior this week, I will allow them to pass out Valentines.  This will not be a huge party, just about 30-45 minutes.  The only thing I ask is that if your child brings Valentines, please bring one for everyone in the class.  There are 26 students.  Thanks!
