Supporting Children Around Mother Earth!!!

Dear Families,

Our school is collecting pennies to raise money for Sleeping Kits.  Each class has been given a 2L bottle to fill with donations.  Any donation from you big or small will make a significant difference!  The students are excited to help other children in need - what an amazing opportunity for US to give back.  The money raised will then be given to "The Sleeping Children Foundation."

PLEASE HELP SUPPORT OUR PENNY DRIVE!!!

Dear Families,

Let's put our hands together to celebrate MATH LEARNING!!!  The children LOVE MATH as I've worked at creating engaging, minds on, interactive lessons.  The students enthusiastically participate in our "Math Minds On Songs!"  Incorporating music into my math lessons has made a signifcant difference.  Your child is up, moving, singing, and LEARNING KEY CONCEPTS in a FUN, meaningful way!!! 

Just below, I've posted two pictures of my classroom Math Wall.  It is designed for the children to utilize during math learning opportunities.  I begin each math lesson by saying, "Math Learning!"  Immediately following this, the children turn to the wall and say math vocabulary that pertains to the BIG IDEA we're focusing on at that time.  Currently, our focus is on - Telling Time (to the hour and half hour) and Money (adding and subtracting money amounts).

A school-wide Learning Goal is implementing 3 Part Math Lessons into our teaching.  The focus in this particular video is on Fractions.
