Today we started Unit 4 in math on subtraction strategies. I will send home a "help sheet" tomorrow so that you can help with the homework more efficiently. Today the strategy was "count back", which I feel is self-explanatory so that is why the helps will come home tomorrow (and they aren't done yet)! :) We will finish up with this unit before the Thanksgiving break. The packet will be due on Monday, November 23. The homework packet for Math Chapter 3 is already late. Please help your child remember to bring that back.
I will send home another Scholastic book order by this Wednesday. It will be due by Wednesday, November 18. These next two orders have Christmas books. If you would like me to save any books for gifts I would be happy to do that for you. Just let me know.
Today your child came home with a username and password for a computer program called Raz-Kids. Please consider allowing your child to get on the computer at home and have fun learning with this program. Some of our trust lands money was allotted for this program. We will sometimes use this program in class, but it's primarily an at home program, as we are already using program at school called Imagine Learning. If you have any questions about Raz-Kids please don't hesitate to ask and I'll find out the answer.
The PTA has two activities or fundraisers coming up. One is the Dairy Queen fundraiser on November 16. Please consider eating at either Dairy Queen location that night or get an ice cream treat. If you mention East Elementary a portion of your bill will be given to our school. The other activity sponsored by our PTA is a Read-a-thon/Pajama party. That will be held on Tuesday, November 24 (the day before the break). Your child can wear their pajamas all day, bring a blanket, books to read, or stuffed animal to read to. We will have that read-a-thon in conjunction with our Thanksgiving party where we will make "turkey cookies" out of oreos. I will send home more information about that at a later date.
Don't stop reading every night with your child and sending back their take-home books daily!!!
