Helpful Hint From Mrs. Johnson:
Math:
Please encourage your child to use their BEST handwriting when completing their work. I have had a hard time reading students’ writing. I want to make sure I can give them credit for the amazing work they are doing.
All procedures (Celebrate 8, Kagan structures, checking agendas, etc.) will be implemented into our class setting since we have been practicing for a few weeks.😎
Test on Monday...will be able to use your "yellow" Decimal Study Guide (reminder...I am going to take your Study Guide for a daily math grade!)
Monday...will explain "mini" task.
Tuesday...Complete our math performance "Mini-task", "Behind the Scenes“.
We will dig deeper with multi-digit (whole number) multiplication.
