It is nice to be back in the classroom after 2 days of workshops/trainings. Unfortunately I will be gone to a Math Conferences on Monday and Tuesday. Hopefully after that I won't have anymore workshops until after Thanksgiving. Mr. Ray, in addition to a substitute teacher will be here, so I am leaving the class in good hands. There will not be a blog on Monday or Tuesday
Next week's spelling words will still be below your child's level. Mr. Ray and I discovered that another week of routines will be helpful before they begin working with words at their level.
Unit 1 Math tests went home today. On the second day of school we took a pre-test for the Unit. This helped Mr. Ray and I assess what skills your child may have already known, thus needing enrichment, and those skills still needed to be taught. Since this unit is primarily on adding and subtracting, just with larger numbers, typically there is little to no growth. We took a pre-test on Thursday for Unit 2 which is multiplication with 3 x 1 digit numbers and 2 x 2 digit numbers. Since this is usually a new concept for most students there is typically growth in this unit.
We have earned 62 Class Cougar Paws. We voted to have a Pajama, Slipper, Pillow and Blanket Day on Wednesday - when I return.
