Monday Memo
December 8, 2014
Dear Parents,
I hope everyone had a
great weekend. We had a great last week! On Friday we had our dress rehearsal
for the Christmas Concert. Just a reminder that the concert is tonight at 7:00.
The students also have counselor time this week! We are also going to be in
charge of the daily announcements this week. That is always kind of fun for the
kids!!
This is a review week in reading. We will be reviewing the grammar,
spelling, and reading skills that we learned throughout the “That’s Amazing”
unit. We will also be working on our SRA kits this week. I am planning to spend
next week working on some Christmas story activities. With that, I would like
to have kids think about the giving aspect of Christmas. If it is possible for
you, I am asking each kid to send $2.00 to school that I will match and send to
the Cheer Fund with our classes’ name. I appreciate that. If you would like
your child to earn that $2.00 by either doing chores for you, helping a
neighbor in some capacity, the list goes on, that would be great and would help
them get that good feeling that goes into being a giver. If you could get that
money to me by Dec. 18th, I will send it the 19th.
We will be finishing our
second module in math this week. This short module was over the metric system
and just taught them how to convert cm to m to km, L to ml, g to kg… It also
showed them how to add/subtract using metric measurement. They also used a
number line to decide if a number is greater or less than another number. Our
next module that I hope to get started this week is starting on the concept of
multiplication and division. Having them work on those facts each night is
going to help them so much with this module. We will be multiplying and
dividing multiple digits, so I can’t stress enough how helpful it will be for
them to know those facts!!
This week we will be
testing over our first southeastern United States chapter. I am sending the
study guide home with them tomorrow night, with the test on Wednesday.
Thanks for all you do to
help me with your child’s education! As always, please call with any questions
or concerns!!
Sincerely,
Chris Mallen
