Helping Your Child at Home

These two charts might be useful as you help your child at home with homework. Sometimes just discussing the reading or math assignments solidifies the understanding. 
Thanks in advance for your support!




Using Whiteboards During Math

We often use whiteboards during Math to show our work while solving word problems. A quick picture of the board allows me to check for understanding when grading students' work. It saves paper too!

Open House

We had a wonderful turn out at Open House! 20 out of 26 families stopped by to visit the classroom. The students were able share their writing and even log into Google Classroom on their laptops. Thank you so much for your support as this can make all the difference in a child's education!

Community Helper Interviews

Everyone did a great job interviewing their community helper. They were very polite, used a strong voice, and made eye contact with every question. I'm so proud to be their teacher!
Stay tuned for the video.....

Dinosaur Subtraction

We love subtraction when it is in a game! Enjoy practicing this game at home. 







Parts of Speech

Nouns, verbs, and adjectives have been the focus of our word study this month. Nick Noun, Vicky Verb, and Alice Adjective were great helpers!


Puzzle Time at Snack

We enjoy working on a puzzle during snack or as a "reward" on Fridays.
