Quintin met his AR goal!

Way to go, Quintin! He reached his goal this weekend and set a new goal for himself to reach by December 11th.  Only 5 more students need to meet their goal in order for our class to earn an extra recess! Keep on reading!

Hip Hip Hooray Julian!

Julian has met his AR goal and increased it!  Way to go!

Make a Friend

In our class, we now have a Make a Friend board.  Students that are feeling anxious about not having someone to play with at recess or simply want to try something new at recess but are nervous to invite themselves, can put their names on this board before lunch.  The rest of the class will see the names on the board and will invite these students to join them.  This will help those students that are feeling anxious about recess to make a plan! It also encourages students to get to know all of their classmates.

Extra Math Help / Challenge

From now on, students that want extra math support can come in during recess on Friday.  Students must write their name on the board before lunch in order to come in and must be able to communicate exactly what skill they need to work on.  For example, subtracting across zeroes, fact fluency, solving 2 step word problems, addition with regrouping etc.  Students that want an extra challenge can also come in and try to solve some thinking caps / enrichment problems.

Check out the new page!

Check out the new tab, Math Anchor Charts.  Here you can find the anchor charts we have created as a class.  Students can refer to these charts at any time for assistance in class and now they can have access to them from home as well!

Don't forget to place your November book order

Book orders are due on Monday, November 21 so please don't forget to visit scholastic.com/readingclub to place your order.  Books make fantastic gifts and orders will arrive before the holiday season!  Want to surprise your child?  Just sent me an email, I will keep their books to the side when they arrive and arrange a time for you to pick them up without them knowing. I'm always willing to do this for birthdays etc. as well!

Three cheers for Kallie!

Hip hip hooray! Kallie met her AR goal!
