Greetings one and all,
Here is the homework/news for a Thursday:
1. Math:
*Unique day...we had an assembly from 9:45-10:30, so the PAPAYA group did not have Math today.
So...the homework for Kiwis and Mangoes is pages 49 and 50 (we're working on Story problems) Those groups will not have homework over the weekend.
Papaya group will get the lesson tomorrow, but they will need to do the homework for MONDAY!!!
2. Words Their Way Spelling tests tomorrow.
3. Reading Logs: Check-in with your kids on how their doing on these. They are right in their planners. You'll see orange stars or numbers. Stars are good. Numbers count the weeks they have not completed the goal. Remember you only get 5 incomplete weeks.
***Halloween Party tomorrow.
2:15 Recess and you can get your costume on then
2:30 The annual Peach Plains Parade
2:45 Back in the Room for Games and Food
3:45 Dismissal...you may take your kids directly from the party, please just let me know when you do.
Take care.

Greetings one and all,
Here is the homework on a Tuesday night:
1. Math: pages 45 and 46
*Please make sure to note, that when directions talk about several of the "different" methods of multiplication...students are now at the point where they may make their own CHOICE of which method works best. Most of those methods are SUPER SIMILAR and just redundant.
2. Science: Please study your journals for your test on Thursday.
*Worlds Changer for the week: The man who created the American Dictionary
That's all folks,

Greetings one and all,
Here is the homework for a Tuesday night:
***Make sure to get your conference requests in TOMORROW (tuesday)! PLEASE****
1. Math: H and R pages 35 and 36
(Kiwi group, does not need to do 7 on page 35 or the Stretch your thinking, we'll tackle those in class)
Please look at the example on page 35 for a great model of the Area Method of multiplication. We are continuing to focus on place value.
*I introduced the "traditional" multiplication method to the Mango group. They must do #2 with the area model method, but they have the choice from there forward. Tomorrow I'll introduce that method to the other groups.
2. Writing: All personal narrative final drafts are due Friday. Ask you're student where they're at in the process. This is not something they really can work on at home, they must use school time effectively, and I feel like they're doing a nice job. Writing will be available to be shared during conference time.
3. Social Studies Test this Thursday!!! Chapter 1!
**The first Reading goal updates will go home this Friday as well. You'll have a good idea of where they've started out before our conference then.
That's all folks,
Take care.

Greetings one and all,
Here is the homework for a Thursday night:
1. Math: H and R pages 33 and 34
*We're currently working on the process of pulling multiplication problems apart to better understand them. We want to be able to understand the place value of each number in the multiplication.
Example:
40 x 70 (4 x 10) x (7 x 10)
(4 x 7) x (10 x 10)
28 x 100
2, 800
Also...understand the progression of zeros
2 x 6 = 12
2 x 60 = 120
2 x 600 = 1,200
*Don't forget about the class COMPLIMENT party tomorrow! They've been great examples within the school and deserve a chance to relax and celebrate great classroom responsibility! Bring in a PG or under movie, and a snack to mix and share.
That's all for today folks,
