Day 23: Monday, September 19th

Good Afternoon, Room 36 Families,

As I mentioned on Friday, we will have a guest speaker visiting us tomorrow!  In preparation, we discussed what a pathologist does, in class today.  Please ask your students about it.

We will also be getting started with Reflex Math tomorrow! I'm very excited that we will be able to use this math fluency program this year.  Students will bring home a parent invitation tomorrow, so please create a parent account so that you can monitor your child's progress, too!  Here is a great video video about the program:

In addition to the 6 classroom laptops we will be getting soon -- yay! -- we will be visiting the Computer Lab once a week to do Reflex Math, typing practice, coding, and writing.  I will have earphones for the classroom laptops, but I would also like all students to have their own set of earbuds for the Computer Lab.  I am going to order a class set, and will be sending home a note requesting a $1 donation per student.

Please continue to practice rounding numbers with your student whenever possible.

Don't forget, there are lots of great links for students and parents in the "hidden" sidebar to the right!
