There will be a vote that could change the types of school experience students will have in the future. I will not tell you how to vote or try to sway you one way or the other but I would urge you to make an effort to read the information and be sure to get out to vote. After reading the information I would ask you to make an educated decision and show up at your polling place on May 23rd. My wife came from a country where she was never allowed to vote and as an American I feel it's a right we should not take for granted.

Friday March 31 is a two hour late start. We plan on using our fraction skills in baking a few items. If you're willing to contribute any items let me know. We'll have a list of things we need by Tuesday.
We finally got through the fraction unit! Thanks for your help. We will test on Thursday. You can check schoology for the test scores. Math Homework will be a yellow sheet and it will come home just a few times a week. This is helping us prepare for the MCA test which will happen in April. Spring Cleaning and Updates Very soon, Apple is going to come out with a new iOS (operating system) update for your child's iPad. Your child will see an alert asking them to update. Please DO NOT have them update at this time. We need to make sure that all of the apps we are using will run smoothly before updating. Your child's classroom teacher will let them know when it is okay to update. Also, it's time to do some "spring cleaning" on the iPads. Some of our students are getting a message stating that their storage is full. If you could remind your child to look at their photos and movies and delete things they do not need, it would be very helpful. Spring Cleaning.....It might be a good idea to check through your child's Ipad and see what they have been downloading in their photos. Other teachers have reported a lot of stuff that is meaningless and it's just taking up space and slowing the Ipad down. You might also want to be checking the history on their internet browser and see if they are just playing senseless games or are they doing things that are educational. Remember the form you signed at conferences about being a helpful partner in this regard.
Report cards are coming home on Monday night and I am asking that you sign the envelope and return it the following day. Fractions continue for the rest of the month. Another feature that I'm doing each day is a time called, "An MCA Moment." We are preparing for the MCA test that will happen in April. Your child is doing a yellow worksheet of Math problems in class and then we are going over it and correcting it together. Last week I posted a reminder to tell your child of your expectations when they have a sub for the day. I received word from my sub that many of the children were not very respectful. I was discouraged to hear that so if you would have that talk again. I'd appreciate it. I'm guessing the students involved have parents are not even reading my weekly blog.
We are officially in the third and last trimester of the year. Report cards will be sent home on March 20th. Let's keep pushing ahead towards that finish line. A lot of school remains and this material needs to be mastered in order for success in 4th grade. No school Friday March 10.
We are doing a lot with fractions and I have posted in your child's schoology account under the movies folder some examples of what we have or will do in class. If your child doesn't understand the concept they can now when they reach use their Ipad to watch the teaching again. It truly is an amazing world we live in today! Please remind your child of your expectations for them when they go to school. I've had to make several phone calls and it isn't my favorite thing to do and it also disrupts the flow of the lesson. Next time you sit down to read or watch TV try to enjoy it with someone stopping your every couple of minutes and see how much fun it is. |
