Hi Everyone,
I have added another site for the kids to use.  It is Raz-kids and they are going to love it.  They will be given their log-on and password for the site today.  The link is in the suggested sites to the left of this page. Please take some time to look it over with your children.  Also, look for more piktocharts to be up soon. Just copy the link into your browser to see the wonderful job they have done!! I am VERY proud of their hard work :)
Have a fantastic day!
Smiles :)

                                                      Happy December 1st 

It's been a busy week and it's only Tuesday! The children have so much to be proud.  They have completed a 5 paragraph essay persuading everyone not to eat turkey for Thanksgiving.  They really are quite cute and entertaining.  We are wrapping up our piktocharts describing strategies for multi-digit multiplication, and we have begun our author study. The children should each have a book from their author and be reading each night.

I have attached a new site for our Go Math-this site provides the children with the student edition of the math book as well as resources.  I will also be giving them assignments on it and the site will be tracking their progress.  I have given them their user name and the password. Please take a look at it yourself.

I look forward to a great month with the kids and have lots of exciting projects coming up! Remember report cards will be posted to the parent portal after December 10th.
Have a great night.
Smiles :)
Ms. Mayer
