0 Comments

 
Good Afternoon Parents,

Happy Friday Eve! I can’t believe we are two school days away from Thanksgiving Break! This week we started working on theme, learning long division with two-digit divisors, and analyzing if clearer water in the Great Lakes is positive or negative. 

Here are some announcements for next week:

**No School on the following days due to November/Thanksgiving Break:
  • Wednesday, November 24
  • Thursday, November 25th (Happy Thanksgiving!)
  • Friday, November 26th
  • Monday, November 29th 

**I will see everyone back in school on Tuesday, November 30th**

Students should be bringing all their materials home and back to school every day. This will help with students who have to quarantine due to exposure to Covid-19. Students who are quarantined or absent NEED to look on Google Classroom for our daily assignment post. Our students must stay on top of their school work when they are not here at school. Please email me if you have any questions or comments. 

Math Division Test on Monday! Study with the review! There is homework that is due Monday for their test.

Items Students Need to Bring from Home: **Students do need headphones and computer mouses for class every day. If possible, please send in plug-in headphones (not Bluetooth) for your student.**

Parents! what you need to sign this week:
  • Planner
  • Reading Log
  • Friday Folder

Parent Connect/Gradebooks: Parents, you can start checking Parent Connect to see what assignments your student is missing or incomplete and see what they have received on homework and test. For missing assignments, I would suggest showing your students what the assignment is and to look for it in their backpack, desk, or locker. If they can’t find it, then please tell me to make a new copy. If you didn’t know, students could also check their grades using Student Connect. This can be found on the Brighton Area Schools website under “I am a Student.” Please email me if you have any questions. 

Absent Students: Please look on Google Classroom for Assignments and Homework that you missed. I will have all the paper copies for you when you return, and you will need to get your absent packet signed by a parent. 

Planners: Please sign the planner every day!
Math: Division practice over the weekend.
Reading/Writing: Working on the theme of a story and comparing themes between two stories. 
Science: We are learning about zebra mussels and what they do for the environment. 
Social Studies: Please check Mrs. Krayer’s Classroom for absent work and use the TCI website through Clever. 

Clever Apps to do at home:
  • Power Up
    • Goal: Students can receive a Pawsitive for doing all their minutes. We do spend at least 60 minutes throughout the week on Power-Up.
  • Imagine Math
    • Goal: 20 minutes a day. Students spend at least 60 minutes throughout the week on Imagine Math.
  • Khan Academy Mappers:
    • Students can use this app to increase their knowledge of mathematics that they need and are ready for. This program generates mathematical skills and concepts based on their NWEA scores. They can sign in using the link on Google Classroom.

If you have any questions, then please email me at [email protected].

Good Afternoon Parents,

Happy Friday! I can’t believe we are seven school days away from Thanksgiving Break! This week we continued working on book clubs, learning long division, and examining what zebra mussels do in the water. 

Here are some announcements for next week:

Students should be bringing all their materials home and back to school every day. This will help with students who have to quarantine due to exposure to Covid-19. Students who are quarantined or absent NEED to look on Google Classroom for our daily assignment post. Our students must stay on top of their school work when they are not here at school.

Conferences: Thank you to all the parents who show up for face-to-face conferences. It was so lovely meeting all of you.

Book Clubs: Book Clubs are going strong and will end on Monday. Please have your students finish their book by Sunday, November 14th! Please have your child read to the page stated on the book schedule sheet each day. This should be their primary book to read. In addition, students are responsible for writing 2 to 3 sticky notes with thoughts while reading their book club book to discuss them during reading time in class. Everything is in their ELA Binder, so that will be taken home and brought back to school every day!

Items Students Need to Bring from Home: **Students do need headphones and computer mouses for class every day. If possible, please send in plug-in headphones (not Bluetooth) for your student.**
