I talked about math frustration a bit with a few of you at conferences. The math night has finally been planned for January 28th from 6 - 7:00 p.m. There is a letter going home tomorrow that states :
"Superintendent Glaes will begin the even with opening remarks which will be followed by Danielle Seabold, the KRESA math consultant. Ms. Seabold will discuss the Common Core State Standards and share ways in that parents can support their children in math. Following her presentation, parents will be encouraged to attend grade level breakout sessions (mini lessons) to learn more about your child's math instruction in the classroom".
There is a form at the bottom of the letter that is due back to me by this Thursday (since we don't have school on Friday) so they can get a count of how many to expect.
Also on Thursday..,.before holiday break the kids filled their reward marble jar..... with three snow days in a row one week and a ski trip the next Friday we just haven't had the time!
So! this Thursday afternoon the kids can bring in blankets to lay on, electronic and non electronic games to play. Some of the kids have volunteered to bring in a particular snack or beverage... they wrote letters today informing you of this. If you cannot donate at this time no worries! We also have a birthday treat coming in that day that should more than make up for what didn't come in!
Owl pellet dissection was today and will continue tomorrow. Rest assured everything they are dissecting has been thoroughly sterilized by the company and again by me! Kind of a cool side note... the company I order from when I don't have enough of my own from my box is from a rehab facility on the coast of California. One of our pellets that we dissected today was full of mini crab claws! Nice to know that in California even the owls are eating well!
Spelling list is as follows.. the test will be Thursday morning due to no school on Friday...
