Good Afternoon Parents,

We made it through the first part of the School Year!  We had an awesome week finishing our narrative writing pieces and taking the first part of our fraction unit test. The students had  a relaxing Friday with holiday activities and treats. Thank you parents for all the donations for the STEM activities and holiday treat. I am very thankful that I have awesome parents!

Here are some announcements for next week:
Winter Break starts on Saturday, December 18th, and ends on Sunday, January 2nd. I will see everyone back at school on Monday, January 3rd.

Parents! what you need to sign this week:

  • Nothing! Enjoy Break

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, please tell me to make a new copy. Students could also check their grades using Student Connect if they didn’t know. This can be found on the Brighton Area Schools website under “I am a Student.” Please email me if you have any questions. ​

Things to do at home during Winter Break:
  • Read - at least 10 days out of 14 days for 20 minutes
  • Journal Writing for 10 minutes every day
  • Math Games on McGraw Hill App on Clever
    • Division Dash
    • Name that Number
    • Multiplication and Division Top It
  • 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].

I hope everyone has a wonderful two week break! Take this time to be with family and relax!
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and Happy New Year!

Good Afternoon Parents,

Welcome to the first week of the trimester! We are diving right into our first writing unit and our new unit of math: Fractions. 

Here are some announcements for next week:
Our annual Food Can Prix is from December 1st – December 15th!! 
Please send in canned food (no glass or expired food, please) in a bag marked with your child's homeroom on it. You may also donate online (please note your child's homeroom, so they get credit)  or send in cash or a check to the office.

The winning Maltby classroom of the Food Can Prix also gets to have their names on the Maltby trophy and keep it in their classroom for the remainder of the year!! 

Miss Vuichard's class only, if each student brings in 10 canned goods by December 15th, then she will provide the class with a special snack on Friday, December 17th!

The two homerooms with the most points will get to have a fake snowball fight with Mr. Brenner and Mr. Aten! BUT Mr. Aten has sweetened the deal!!! If Maltby as a whole school donates 1  TON of food (only 3lbs per person), then Mr. Aten will shave his beard, and the winning homeroom gets to help!! The kids are going to be so excited! 
​

Here are some examples of what items you can donate:
  • Canned Fruit (no heavy syrup) 
  • Canned Vegetables 
  • Tuna Fish 
  • Peanut Butter (in plastic jars) 
  • Healthy Cereal/Oatmeal Hearty 
  • Soups
  • Stews 
  • Canned Spaghetti or Pasta 
  • Beans (black, kidney, pinto, or refried)
  • Canned Meats (chicken, salmon)
