Happy New Years! I hope you all have had a relaxing Winter Break. I definitely did. I am well relaxed and ready to go!
We are still in the 2nd 9 Weeks, but we only have until next Thursday. Yes, yes. I am updating grades all this week and next week. There will be grades added in as well in the near future. I am aiming to have grades completed by Tuesday (Jan 13.) Grades posted by then will be the most accurate representation of what will be on your child's report card. With that being said, I am still going to have Ketchup and Pickle days. This week it will be on Thursday and Friday. Next week, it will be Monday only. I tell the students every day, "I'm not trying to fail you. I want you to be successful in everything you do." This means that if your child has a grade that is a D or below, trust and believe I am trying my hardest to have small groups and allow students to correct mistakes.
I want the remainder of the year to be as successful as possible. With that being said, I will do better with uploading homework help videos and I will use my blog more frequently so that your child has help outside of school as well.
Your child's homework tonight is to practice their multiplication. These links (Math Magician- Basic Multiplication and Math Magician- Multi-Leveled Multiplication) are what we use in class to help study. The key right now is to get students to master their basic facts from 0-12. This is a 3rd grade standard, however there are quiet a few students who are still not at mastery. I have started two programs to help build multiplication fluency. One is Multiplication Master and the other is the Multiplication Bowl. Again, give your child 10 min to work on multiplication facts using the link. They may need your help inputting the answers in the space.
Best wishes and I'm looking forward to an also 2nd half!
Ms. J
