I am not quite sure how we are here already, but today we welcomed the first day of DECEMBER! This school year has been absolutely flying by so far, and our extremely busy days are about to get busier!
We have spent the past couple of weeks finishing up some topics and beginning some new ones. One of the most notable changes in our classroom is happening during Math as we learn together how to do "Daily 3" Math in our classroom. Since our Daily 5 language program has already proved to be so beneficial, I have decided to introduce this similar Math program to the students. More updates will come as we perfect this new program!
I do have a few housekeeping items I would like to mention:
1) Students have been leaving their Mailbags at home very often lately. It is very difficult to organize handouts when I am missing half of the students Mailbags. I obviously understand that sometimes they will be forgotten at home, but it is getting out of hand. I have been telling students that it is also their responsibility to make sure it is in their backpack each morning. Please help them become responsible by helping them to remember! Thank you!
2) With cold and flu season already started, we are already low on tissue boxes. If you had any extra tissue boxes you would like to donate to the classroom, that would be greatly appreciated!
3) Due to many unforeseen circumstances, we have NOT had the chance to complete book exchanges in our Library for the past few weeks. We are hoping that the Library will be open again and ready to use next week. Thank you for your understanding!
4) Don't forget to have your child complete their Science research project this weekend! I have asked that they be submitted this Monday, December 4th. On Monday I will go over with the students what is expected of them for their presentations and students will present their projects later that week.
Again, December is an extremely busy month for everyone as we excitedly prepare for the Christmas Holidays. I have updated this page with some important upcoming dates to mark down. Please continue to check the school website and calendar to stay up to date! Looking forward to celebrating this month with everyone,
Mrs. Miller
