MATH NIGHT - Thursday, January 26th

This coming Thursday, January 26 at 7–8:15pm, school will be open late! All are welcome at Coolidge Math Night, a family-friendly event designed to help your child show off and practice Math skills.

In fourth grade, students will have the opportunity to visit four math stations.  Two stations are based on our fraction unit, one is a problem solving station, and  the fourth is an iPad station.   Students will be demonstrating their bar modeling skill, playing games and exploring the use of technology while highlighting our fourth grade curriculum.

This is a lighthearted, informal event—an opportunity to get familiar with the Math In Focus program, to try some student tools and and to see your child in action!

Hope to see many familiar faces!

MATH HOMEWORK UPDATE/ MAP TEST / MATH NIGHT

Families of room 31 -

OOPS... the class left today and we forgot to write in the planner that the math homework is ONLY questions 1 - 14.  They are NOT to complete 15 - 27 tonight!  Please remind your child if you see this BEFORE they start their homework.  I have also emailed this information to families. 

 
MATH NIGHT - I hope to see many of our students for Math Night on January 26th. Children and their caregivers are encouraged to come play math games / share in our math learning.  It will run from 7:00 - 8:15. Hope to see many familiar faces!

SOUTH STATE MAP TEST - The students have their SOUTH MAP test this THURSDAY, January 19th. They need to be able to label all the physical features (mountains, rivers, oceans, peninsula, delta) in the correct spot on a map.  They will also need to know the names of each of the states.   Learning the capitals are a bonus!   The study guide and practice blank maps went home last Monday which gave the students 10 nights to practice! Please make sure your child is studying for this test!

7:00 - 8:15 PM

I hope to see many of you on Math Night.  The fourth grade activities four different stations.  Two stations will be game stations based on our fraction unit.  Another station will be a problem solving station were students can demonstrate their bar modeling skill. The final station will be an iPad station  where students will use various iPad apps to demonstrate and practice their math facts and skills.  It should be a fun night for all!

Report Cards / Weekly Update

Families of Room 31 ~

Just a reminder about a few things ~

1.  REPORT CARDS were sent home today in your child's blue communication folder.  Please keep the paper report card at home, yet send the signed envelope back to school with your child.

2.  Communication folder / homework folder - may assessments (all that you've seen already ) have been sent home in your child's homework folder or communication folder.  Please CLEAN these out.  The communication folder should come back EMPTY and your child's homework folder should be empty except for any current work this week.

3.  HEALTH HOMEWORK - Mrs. LeMay assigned health homework last Friday.  It is due by this current Friday.

4.  READING TAKES YOU PLACES / MATH FACT SHEETS - After the winter vacation, I will be sending home a sheet sharing how many READING TAKE YOU PLACE and MATH FACT PRACTICE SHEETS your child has returned.  In order for your child to receive a GOLD MEDAL a the end of the year, they need to complete 10 reading slips AND 5 math fact practice sheets.  Many children have brought in several reading papers and at least one math.  It would be my hope by now that they would have completed at least THREE READING slips and ONE Math fact sheet.  Please check with your child to see if they have turned these in.  If you child completes one (reading or math) yet, not the other this year, they will receive an alternate medal at the end of the year ceremony.  If they do not complete or participate in either, then they will not receive a medal.    The slips are readily available to your child in class and can be locate on our class blog for you to print out.

5.  A HEART FELT THANK YOU ~  At this time of year, I often take time to reflect on the positive moments in my life and stop and think of the reasons I have to be grateful.  Coming to work each day and working with your children is the BEST medicine / job I could ever wish for.  Wishing all my families happy holidays and a safe, healthy 2017

If you have any questions / concerns, please don't hesitate to get in touch.
