NEW MATH HOMEWORK

Beginning this Monday, Feb. 11, our math homework will have a different look and due date. We will be working with a particular number each week and show different ways to think about that number. This is an example of what it will look like. Scholars may need help with the spelling of the number word and may need some assistance with representing the number with money. For example, 12 = dime + 2 pennies, or it could be 2 nickels + 1 penny + 1 penny, or they can draw the coins with the first letter of the coin's name (D + P + P = 12). There are lots of ways of looking at it. If you have questions, please let me know.

The purpose of this is to help our scholars think flexibly about numbers and how they work. They will get the homework on Monday and will turn it in by Friday.

No MATH Homework this week BUT READ!

Just wanted to let you know that we do NOT have Math Homework for this week only. However, your scholar received new books and was asked to keep the old ones to practice reading. These books should be in their binder. It is imperative that they practice a lot, because we will begin reading testing next week. So please use the extra time not used for Math Homework to practice reading.

Thanks...and welcome back to a new year, a new 9 weeks, and a new semester.
