Students took the Unit 2 Math Test (Division) last week. They are all corrected and will be returned on Monday. We start Unit 3 today – Adding and Subtracting Decimals.
Parent/Teacher Conferences are this week so Thursday and Friday will be half days. If you haven’t signed up for a conference time please refer back to my previous e-mails on how to sign up (and what the password is). Click here for the link to my conference sign-up page.
A few weeks ago students learned about the Holiday Bear Project, which is a charity that sponsors children who need a little holiday boost. We will be sponsoring a girl and a boy whose families are having a difficult time and would be hard pressed to provide gifts for their kids during the holidays. What most classes do who are involved in projects like this is to have students bring in wrapped gifts. While this is very effective, I do this a little differently. Along with altruism and empathy, I want students to utilize this opportunity to learn some other lessons, too.
I understand that not every student will be able to make it to Walmart on December 2 and that is absolutely fine. You’ll hear more from the room parents later about carpooling opportunities. Either way, all students will be involved in the process both before and after. Let me know if you have any questions about this worthy cause.
