Mrs. Mele

Math – p. 36  We are now working on both addition and subtraction facts to 12.  Although we are using manipulatives, there are children who are still having difficulty.  They are either doing the wrong operation or are counting wrong.  I will soon be taking away the manipulatives. A number line is on the board in my room.  You can make one for them to use at home. They count forward on a number line for addition and backward for subtraction.  You can have your children go on IXL during the week and over the break to practice.  It is imperative that the the children learn their facts.  Some rush and are making careless mistakes.  Please speak with them. Their math facts are also in their study notebook and flash cards always help with practice.  

Phonics – short u paper

Reminder – 12 o’clock dismissal on Wednesday.  Thank you to all who have signed up to bring something for our Friendsgiving on Wednesday.  Items may be brought in by your child.  If something is too heavy, stop at the office when you drop your child off in the morning and they will tell you where to bring the item or call me.

Good afternoon,

Updates were sent home on Friday in an envelope.  The purpose of the update is to tell you how your child is doing at this point.  It is not your child’s report card.  There is time for improvement and in some cases there may be a decline in grades when the trimester is completed.  Please sign the update and put it back in the envelope so I can reuse it.  If you have any questions or concerns regarding the update, please reach out.

Pencil cases were sent home on Friday.  Please look through them and sharpen your child’s pencils.  Some children are missing crayons.  Please replace them.  I have spoken to the class about taking care of the supplies you have purchased for them.  It becomes difficult to complete an assignment if they do not have the correct supplies.

D.E.A.R. time – Please make sure your child remembers to bring in a book to read.  I like giving them 15 minutes per day to do this.

Thank you to all who have contributed and help make the Book-a-thon a success.  The love of reading is instilled at a very young age.

Thank you to those who have sent in a cake baking item for our class tricky tray basket.  There is still time to buy an item if you have not done so.

Enjoy the rest of the day!

I made 2 errors on my homework page tonight:

1. The date is Monday, October 16th not the 19th.

2.  Math homework is p. 20 and not p. 19.

For some reason, the number 19 is playing with my mind.

Thank you for your understanding,
