Dear Families,
Happy sunny Monday! I can't tell you how happy I am to see the sun. I am done with cloudy days. I am about to build a countdown paper chain to the beach for Spring Break.
· Measurement: The students have been working with Mr. Chace and myself on corrections and re-teaching. That seems to be helping a lot. Mrs. Cutler will begin pulling small groups today to review the metric materials. Wednesday is the last day of rotations and then we will spend time reviewing in class. Once I am comfortable with the fact that they have learned the material we will have a test. That will probably be next week.
· Decimal Division: We did alright on our final test. The class average was a 76% so not as high as others, but that is what I expected. Students will be bringing home test corrections tonight. I will start pulling small groups this week. We just need to continue to practice.
· Conferences: Conference schedule is now open. Head to School Center to sign up if you would like to meet!
- Twitter: If you have a Twitter account please follow us at @MrsDugganSPE. I post almost daily the fun things we are up to in the classroom!
- Grade Updates I know a lot of you have been on Parent Vue checking grades. That is great way to keep up with what we have been working on. Please know that grades are updated each week by Tuesday at 10am. If you check on Monday they won't be updated and there might be missing assignments that aren't really missing. Same thing for a Friday. If you ever have questions about grades please let me know.
