I apologize for not posting last week. Have you ever had a week that your to do list always seems longer than the amount of hours you have to get it done?
We have a lot going on this week. Last Friday we had Math Camp 2011; it was a great success! We are doing a follow-up Math Camp this Friday to help students learn mathematical concepts in new and fun ways. I'm looking forward to it!
Progress reports went home on Friday; they need to be returned no later than Wednesday. I am sending home extra credit work on Monday. It will be due Monday, April 4. Completing the extra credit will help your student deepen his/ her understanding of the concepts that we are focusing on, and will help to improve his/ her overall class average.
Thursday night is parenting night. We will have a math and science focus; you won't want to miss it!
Monday-
We are starting a new book entitled "Letters from Rifka". It is set during World War 1 and focuses on the life of an immigrant coming to America. You can help at home by discussing these historical events with your student. Having a previous knowledge of the text shows to help increase student comprehension.
Tuesday-
Chapter one work is due/ vocabulary focus.
Wednesday-
Introduce new class activities to correlate with the book. Expect to see information coming home about this on this day.
Thursday-
Vocabulary test/ watch Ellis Island video.
Parenting Night
Friday-
Math Camp 2011
As always, feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns. I am happy to help in any way that I can!
