This has been a crazy week but we survived! I really hope you can help me with addition at home, I have send home a lot of papers, the yellow paper is how to draw the circles for the addition problems, so they will not be confused, the salmon colored paper is practice paper for addition, the green and brown paper is for counting the dots worksheet and the pink paper is for number line.
Lots of papers! Do NOT turn it in, it is to practice at home. Thank you for doing that.
Addition practice is going to be re-taught again, there are some very high level students that can even add 2 digits with 2 digits:) while some that still struggle with the concept of addition, I am not comparing! Just to let you know what a far range of students we have.
Pretty please with sugar on top, please please please practice with them at home, especially going over the vocabulary on addition, equals etc! This will help classroom practice a lot easier!
Business:
1. SEP, (parent teacher conference) Please please please schedule early, DONT FORGET!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You can start scheduling on Monday January 13th!
Please note the half day schedule, (treat every day of SEP week like a Friday)
AM CLASS ---8:45am-10:50am
PM CLASS-----11:25am--1:25pm
SEP WEEK IS FROM JAN 27th - JAN 31th (Monday to Friday)
There will be no lunch or English class during SEP week. Please make sure you drop them off on time and PICK THEM up on time, because it is too cold outside and for safety issues, if you are not there within 10 minutes, when school is out, your child will be waiting in the office.
for SEP, please remember to bring your goals that we set with you during the LAST SEP, so we can review and see if we accomplished them. also, if you have older or younger kids, if they can wait in the hallway that would be great!
2. LIBRARY FORMS, I need them by the end of next week, January 17th, Friday. PLEASE MAKE SURE that you turn it in asap.
No forms= your child cannot check out books
3. RUNNING----Pretty please tell your child not to run anywhere in the school or in the playground etc, there are so many injuries and falls that occurs, especially when there is snow and ice outside, it gets slippery. Also, there are so many children in the school and in the playground, running results in them running into another child or crashing into an object, please please please please tell them not to!
4. EMERGENCY SITUATION !!!! TAKE NOTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
* In event of an emergency, like fire, too much snow and school is cancelled, late start, etc
There will be callouts from the school district, please make sure your number is updated and CORRECT!
If we experience a late start, a.m. kindergarten will not be held. If on a Friday, both will be cancelled.

1. Chinese---we will review the 3D shapes and compare their 2D shapes. (similarities and differences)
2. Math--We will keep doing addition, please make sure to go over the vocabulary with them and to practice with them at home, especially the concept on adding. That would help a lot.
Also, we will be starting 1-60, dots and number line.
3. Art: we will do finger painting, be prepared for your child and their clothes to get paint on, the paint is washable!
4. TEST: on 3D shapes, please review with them! Take note:
cone and cylinder have the same 1st and last word, so on cone, I taught them to emphasize the 2nd word, that way they wont get confused.
Have a Warm and fun weekend!
doing another test to see who reads the whole blog and remember the plastic bag, on Monday, jan 13th , please send your child with a plastic bag (eg walmart bag, smith, dicks, etc) in their backpack
last time, we only had 10 kids come with rubber bands :( sad , lets see if we can do better, remember, do NOT pass the word around. thanks!
