Round of applause for all the parents who had my kids in class everyday this week!! 100% attendance for the first week of school! We managed to get our supplies organized, we met with all of our Specials teachers, and we even learned some cool vocabulary in reading and new math skills! It's going to be a great year!
Speaking of new skills in math, we worked on rounding numbers to the nearest ten and hundred. I know some of my kids have not mastered this concept yet, and that's ok! We'll continue working on it until they become "Master Rounders"! Want some extra practice? Log on to: www.learnzillion.com and type the following codes in the search box: 539ZJWV to practice rounding to the nearest ten and NCRKETA to practice rounding to the nearest hundred.
All of my kids took their STAR test this week! I wrote their AR level and color on the front of their agenda. Their homework this week is to read a book and be ready to quiz on Monday. You don't have a book? Try logging in to www.tumblebooks.com and using miamidade as the username and password. Search for a book, but make sure it's an AR book.
Reminder: Rolling book bags will not be permitted in school anymore. Please make sure your child has a regular backpack. I will not be giving them loads of books to take home, I promise!
Finally, thank you to all who signed up for First Mate! I have never had so many parents sign up! So, I had to "pull a name from a hat" to choose one. However, all my parents are welcomed for activities throughout the year. Ms. Jeannie Martinez will be our First Mate this year! Thank you!
Have a great weekend...oh, and YES, there is school on Monday!
