2 Weeks In...

Hello all,

Whew! Two weeks are complete.  We all are working on making great choices and following our classroom expectations.

We are in full swing with our first Math Unit.  We will be learning about comparing, adding, and subtracting fractions.  We are off to a great start.  I am impressed by our homework completion! We have done an excellent job finishing all of our homework assignments.  Please continue to help your child with their assignments, it is incredibly helpful.

Students are expected to read for 20 minutes every night, along with getting their reading log signed.  Reading at home is very important, it will help students build their reading skills as well as build their reading stamina.

This week, we started the Homework Room.  If students came to school without their math complete, or their reading log signed/filled in, they were required to go to the Homework Room.  This will continue throughout the school year. Homework Room runs during lunch recess Monday-Thursday and rotates between the intermediate teachers.  Starting next week, I will be leaving notes in your child's agenda stating if they had to go to the Homework Room.

This week, Scholastic Book Orders came home with your child.  If you are interested in ordering books for your child, please complete the order form and return it to school with a check made out to Scholastic, or cash.  OR... head online to scholastic.com and order online.  You can enter my scholastic code, MDHBW, and help supply books for our classroom library.  When you order online, I receive scholastic points.  I can then use those points to order new books! The books orders are due next week Friday, September 19th. 

Have a wonderful weekend!

Miss Cornell
