Week of August 24 - 28

Welcome to week 2!


Math Facts:
This week we are going to continue on our math facts review. Our focus is review of addition facts. Monday thru Thursday the class takes a 60 second practice test with 40 problems. Any problems they miss, they will have to write 3 times each for homework.


1st Years:
We will begin working on Unit 1: Number and Operations. This week we have Lesson 1: Multiplying Whole Numbers. When you multiply, the numbers being multiplied are called factors, and the answer is called the product.


2nd Years:
We will begin working on Unit 1: Number and Operations. This week we have Lesson 1: Integers. Integers are whole numbers and their opposites. Integers can be compared using a number line. As you move from left to right on the number line, the numbers are ordered from least to greatest. All negative numbers are less than zero. Use <> to compare numbers.

WELCOME BACK!

Welcome back to the 2009-2010 school year. This first week we will be doing things a little differently. We will all meet in room 38 on Monday. Tuesday we will break up into two groups, check the list on the doors in the morning. The rest of the week we will be meeting in the two different rooms to start.

PE will begin on Tuesday. Please make sure you have tennis shoes that tie, a water bottle and a good attitude.

This year we have a breakfast program available starting at 7am. Check out the menu in the classroom.

I look forward to this school year. Let's make it the best one ever!
