December 1, 2009 Students Happy Thanksgiving! We all have so much to be thankful for. I hope the first week of December finds everyone rested and well fed and ready for a busy three weeks before winter break. This week features performances of "Once Upon a Mattress". I'm excited about the performances but I know that some students may feel too busy and overwhelmed right now. It helps to get enough sleep, eat properly, and keep working hard and enjoying the moment. Need Some Extra Help? Come see me during lunch on Tuesdays and after school on Thursdays and get some help if you feel that you do not understand the material or are falling behind. My door is always open to you and I'm here to help! All you have to do is ask... and for some more ideas about how to succeed in math, check out my study tips. Think Tank is Over, but... I am often in my classroom during lunch, recess, and after school, and I am always willing to help. All you have to do is ask!! Remember, it is your responsibility to stay current on your homework, even if you miss a class for whatever reason. Check the web site for the assignments you miss if you are not in class, and pick up the handouts from the crates in our classroom. Pre-Algebra We will finish the Mystery of the Dual Spinners (MD) unit in the CPM textbook this week. The unit focuses on probability and fractions. Algebra We are well into Chapter 5, learning to multiply and factor polynomials with algebra tiles and generic rectangles. In the next three weeks we continue to develop skills for working with linear equations and functions. Parents Please check the website if your child misses school for assignments. Help your child succeed in math by monitoring their math journals frequently. If your child needs help, encourage them to look at the examples in the book and to think of how their homework is similar or different from the examples. I am always available via phone or email for your questions or concerns. |
