Dear Parents,
Here we are in Week 32! The days are getting warmer and longer (as I write
it’s 8:00 pm and not completely dark), and our year is getting shorter. I know
this was mentioned a couple of weeks ago but, it is very important that your
child comes to school with a water bottle labeled with your child’s name.
This is especially important on our P.E. days (Monday and Wednesday).

Math
Last week we worked on a new strategy (Arrow Method) to add and subtract
within 100 and 1,000. All week the students were guided through problems,
worked in partners, and worked independently using the Arrow Method.
In the beginning of the week (Monday and Tuesday) standards will continue
working on adding and subtracting within 100 and 1,000. Students will have
a mini assessment on this standard on Tuesday.

In the latter part of the week, we will be reviewing graphs. Students will be
working on creating and interpreting picture graphs, bar graphs, and line plots.

The research part of this project will be completed by Tuesday and

very exciting to watch teams of students researching and getting excited
about their decade! The next blog will include our presentation date!
