Weekly Newsletter

Mrs. Wieferich's and Mrs. Freeland's Weekly Note

May 14-May 18


 


 

Fun to be Fit Donations:

Since we do not have a grant this year for our Fun to be Fit event, the coordinators are asking that every classroom provide the following items:

  • 50 juice boxes (One for each person in each class, and one for guests.)
  • 4 dozens store bought cookies.

If you would be willing to provide a package of juice boxes or cookies, we would really appreciate it! Since the items don't spoil, it would be better to have them early, just so we know we have enough. We are so excited for this fun event!


 

Student of the Week:

Our Student of the Week was Allison DeYoung. Super job!


 



 

Rocket Math:

Colton Nethaway became an Addition Master this week! Congratulations!

Math:

This week we began Unit 11- "Whole Number Operations- Revisited." This unit has four main areas of focus:

  1. To review addition and subtraction algorithms using sums of money.
  2. To introduce and practice the trade-first subtraction algorithm.
  3. To solve multiplication and division number stories.
  4. To practice multiplication and division facts using a products table and fact families.


 

Behavior Flip-Chart:

From now until the end of the year, the students will be bringing home a behavior note if they flip a card(s). Please sign it and return it to school the next day.


 

Science:

We have completed our unit on the Water Cycle. Ask your student to explain or draw it for you! The main words they should be able to use are evaporation, condensation, and precipitation.
