Homework & Announcement 1-26-15

Happy Tuesday! The homework is:
Reading
Lesson 2 Extra Practice
Prodigy Math (optional)

Announcement- With the Week of Kindness, I have been presented with a service learning project that I would like our class to participate in. Our class watched a video today about the Coins for Kenya Project and our class decided that we would like to help by donating coins to this group of students in Kenya. Our class had a rich discussion about how different our lives are from those students and how fortunate we are. It really put into perspective how lucky we all are! We talked about how sometimes we take everyday essentials for granted such as running water, food, school supplies, etc. and the importance of helping others in times of need. To learn more about this project, please watch this video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9gqSdPztDI

Therefore, if you would like to donate coins, please have your child bring them to school so we can fill our jar! :)

As always, thank you for your support!

Happy Monday! The homework tonight is:

Reading
Prodigy Math (optional)
No spelling this week!

We are working on time this week and will continue working on elapsed time during the rest of the year, so please ask your child questions regarding time to get them even more exposure! I noticed some students are having trouble with telling time with an analog clock (which makes sense because we all use our phones with digital to tell time!). But if you have an analog clock at home, ask questions about the time so they can get used to it! :)

Example: "Baseball practice was one hour and 30 minutes and it started at 4. What time was it over?"

Those types of questions will really help them!

Kindness Week!

This week Oak Meadows and schools across the country are participating in the Great Kindness Challenge! This is one of my favorite school weeks of the year because we get to see how sweet and kind our students can be toward one another! It truly is an amazing thing to see the acts of kindness and the feeling that it gives both students! We will be focusing on random acts of kindness that students and staff can do to make the world a better place. This will be a huge topic of discussion this week, so I am eager to see what random acts of kindness our students come up with! Below is a list that can give students an idea of how they can participate.

Homework 1/21/16

Hello! The homework tonight is:

Reading 20 minutes
Spelling (test tomorrow)
Prodigy Math Game (optional, if you don't have a computer, it's okay)

Right now we are working on a CFL in math, so you will likely not see a lot of math homework this week and next week because it is all a collaborative math project, so it would just be confusing to send it home!
