Jacobs Newsletter 11/7

Happy Friday, students and parents!!! What a fantastic week.  I just want to give you a synopsis on this week in math.  We have finished up with Module 1 which is Place Value, Rounding, and Algorithms for Addition & Subtraction. The last few lessons in Module 1 were a little rocky.  I am going to pull students for small group to make sure the concepts are understood.  As of today, everyone has taken the addition and subtraction test.  I will be pulling students to view their test grade and give alternate assignments for the grade for them to complete.  It may only be completed in class.

Math packets will continue to be sent home for completion grades.  The answer key will be posted the next day for students to check their answer.  Please remind students of the importance of responsibility.

Problem of the Month:

We will be working on Problems of the Month.  We will go over a concept of the problem as a whole class and then students will have two weeks to solve and develop elaborate explanations as to how to solve the word problem.  This will never go home for completion.  This is strictly an in class assignment.

Upcoming in Math:

We will start a new Module on Monday.  A parent letter informing you of the concepts taught in this module was sent home today in family folders.  We will be focused on Metric Unit Conversions.  Students will continue to practice with tape diagrams when solving word problems involving measurement.

Students had fun integrating technology with math with our QR Code version of Quiz, Quiz, Trade.  Ask your child about our fun game.  They loved it!!

Field Day was a blast.  Congrats to Ms. Kiser's homeroom for the grade level win!  The teachers had fun partaking in Tug of War with our students. Pictures are coming soon.
