March has arrived.  We are one more step closer to spring!  Next weekend, we turn the clocks forward one hour.  To celebrate the Spring Forward into daylight savings time, we will hold an ALL SCHOOL PJ Day on Friday, March 6.  Remember:   We do not have school on Monday, March 9.

Parent/Teacher conferences are March 9, 10, 11.  If you do not recall your conference time, please contact me so I can let you know of your scheduled time.

 

TenMarks Homework: I have assigned 6 tracks of homework for the entire week.  Half of the assignments involve concepts that were very difficult for the kids in their recent work with multiplication and division of decimal numbers involving powers of 10, and the other half involve the practice of skills from much earlier in the school year.

Please encourage your child to think through these questions involving exponents and concepts involving place value.  Have them take advantage of the video clips and text hints.  This is a perfect opportunity for additional support in the comfort of their home.  The assignment is due Friday.  Pace out the time spent on these throughout the week.  My goal is to keep concepts fresh in their minds, not overwhelm them.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
