Welcome Back on Track, Subtraction with Regrouping and Volunteer Schedule

I wanted to let you know a few things happening this week and other things having to do with being back on track. 
  • -There will be no spelling this week being it's a short week. There will be regular homework otherwise, due on Friday.
  • -We are now in room 116. 
  • -P.E. is on Tuesdays the next 9 weeks.
  • -Library will be on Wednesdays.

After math today I wanted to make sure I let parents know about a few things. Please make sure when your child regroups, that they show they have done so by crossing out numbers and putting down the new numbers from borrowing the new ten.

I've noticed that many of the children tried answering the problem with not going through the process of crossing out numbers and writing down the new numbers in the tens and ones place column. The picture above shows what your child is expected to do with the problems. I'm hoping that this only happened today because we have been off for three weeks. When they do the math problems at home, please go over them with your child to see they are saying the poems and doing all of the steps before writing down an answer. Thanks! 

 Volunteering: 
Once again we have a weird situation of only having a few weeks left on a month and trying to figure out volunteering. If we could look at another month's last 2 week schedule, I'd like to follow that. Here is who would be on the schedule. If you think it won't work for you, please let me know. I'll do my best to have the March volunteer schedule up at the end of February. Thanks for your understanding.
