The Season Begins!

Happy Thanksgiving! The students have been working hard on partial quotients division the past few days. Some are very comfortable with this method and others are not so much. These next couple of days we will continue to work on this skill.

As the Holiday Season gets fully wound up please remember to check with your child regarding homework and their responsibilities.

Have a great Thanksgiving week!

Thank You Notes

Each week your child will be writing a note to a person they choose to thank. They may choose a family member, neighbor, teacher, or friend as their focus of their thank you notes. They will be writing the thank you note with two goals in mind; 1) Obviously, to use written words to say thank you and 2) to become aware of those people which they need to thank.

You can help this process in two ways; 1) pointing out individuals they could choose to write and 2) donating thank you cards to the class.

I am hopeful that this process will encourage our students to continue to be thankful.
