Chaperone names will be picked tomorrow. I only have four volunteers at this point, so there is still room for more names. Chaperone permission slips, lunch forms and money is due next Friday. On Monday, I will send home a second copy of the packet for those who may have misplaced it.

Chaperone names for the Madison Trip are due Friday morning. Friday I will confirm the list of chaperones. Remember you must have had a completed Criminal Background Check done this year and bring the card they mail you the morning of the Madison trip or you not allow to be a chaperone. This is District Policy and information on how to complete a background check has been sent home at least two times this year. If you misplaced the information, the school secretaries can help you with the website you need to go to. It does take 2 or 3 weeks for the entire process to be complete.
Tomorrow is Packers Day.
On Monday the first Math quiz of the year was sent home. Once or twice a week I will be giving short quizzes based on these same benchmark standards. I do not feel that one piece of evidence, one quiz, gives me a true look at your child's abilities.

There is no school tomorrow because of Staff Development.
We will be taking the MAP Math on Wednesday afternoon. Please make sure that your child is well rested so that they can do their best.
On Friday we will be picking for chaperones for the Madison Field Trip. If you are interested, please fill out the chaperone form and send it back to school by Friday morning. Remember, you MUST also have a Criminal Background Check done this school year - even if you have had them in the past - and I must physically see a card that the Background Check company will send you before you will be allowed to chaperone. Information on how to do the Criminal Background Check has been sent home a few times already this year. If you need the information again, the school secretaries can help you.

Thank you to parents who are already volunteering to be chaperones for the Madison Field Trip. Please remember that you must have a Criminal Background Check done before the trip and you MUST bring the card they send you to show me in person on the morning of the trip. If you do not physically have the card with you, per District Policy, I am not allowed to let you go on the trip. The background check needs to be done ASAP if you have not already done one this school year. Information has been sent home a few times about how to do this. If you misplaced the information, please contact the school office so they can let you know what website to use.
Today I sent home a Math Strategies Chart with your child. I am hoping that these examples will help clarify the strategies we are using this year. Many should be familiar from last year.
Book Orders are due Friday, if you would like to purchase anything.

Please do not respond or write me through the blog. I only have this email sent up for the purpose of the blog and do not check it for communication purposes. If you have any questions or concerns, please email through my school email fritschs@mjsd.k12.wi.us

Home/Connections 1 - 2. This homework is for students who are in my math group. Those students who are in Ms. Izzo's goup received a different assignment. Home/Connections 1-2 is linked on the September Math Calendar on my webpage, if the homework is lost or forgotten. If you are able to access the webpage but not able to print, I told students they can just write their answers on a piece of paper and I will accept that as being finished.
I know that the challenge problems can be difficult but it is important that your child at least try the problem and not skip it or put down "I don't know." The trying will help with their math independence and build confidence when they see similar problems on a math test.
