Tuesday Folders will NOT come home today. look for a full folder next week.
Be on the Lookout for…
- Our student Food Truck Rodeo is THIS Friday, October 18th! Please look at what time your child will present and block off a few hours of your late morning/early afternoon to join in the learning and lunch! Questions? Please review my last dojo class story. Also, it is VERY important that you RSVP here.
- Students have a cheat sheet with all their logins and passwords to help you access these items from home. This includes: GSuite (Drive, Docs, Classroom, Drawings, etc), Education Galaxy, BrainPop, Big Universe, Dreambox, and Flipgrid. Students also have an EPIC! account, but that can only be utilized inside the school. Please keep this precious sheet in agendas so students always have it!
- Students have prepared commercials for the Food Trucks so you can preview what trucks will be there Friday. Part of student homework is to have you views theirs, and maybe a few others. Students will probably need their Google logins for you to see. Please view the commercials here!

This week in Literacy:
- Students are continuing their Food Truck Business Plans and preparing for the rodeo on October 18th!
- Our focus in reading this week is on understanding the Point of View or perspective of different characters. This can be hard for students to grasp that one story can have multiple view points, so a variety of books help us understand how this is important.
This week in Math:
We are doing a variety of addition and subtraction of methods. Some of these may NOT be familiar to you as parents so it is VERY important to use the example coming home from what students did that day. Some very helpful parent links to what we are doing can be found here: Place Value Addition Show All Totals/Partial Sums Addition on a # Line Place Value Subtraction Subtraction on a Number Line
I am noticing some major gaps in what students SHOULD know, so please look over assignments with them to ensure they understand. If frustration levels are reached, write me a note or send me an email. I want to address it asap!
