This Week

We had a very busy week this week and learned a lot of new content.  There should be some extremely tired brains this weekend!  We learned about area both on a grid and with a formula, and we started diving into long division.  There were definitely times of frustration, but there were a lot of light bulb moments too!  We will continue working until we have mastery of our new content!

We did have quite a few issues with talking out and disrespect in the classroom.  I understand that the weather has a great impact on student behavior, and indoor recess is difficult, but I spoke with them at the end of the day about the importance of paying attention and staying on task.  We have a new class mantra that we are saying each morning.  I will post it below.  Please take a moment to discuss the meaning of each statement with your child.  I'm looking forward to another great week next week! 

1.  Respect myself and others
2.  Focus and block out distractions
3.  Always try my best and improve every time.
4.  LET'S SOAR!
