“The important thing is to not stop questioning.” – Albert Einstein
We are off to a great start. I am truly enjoying getting to know all the students in the class. We have a Zoom Back to School night on Thursday night. It is my understanding that the main office will be sending out the link to the meeting. I am looking forward to working together with all of you.
The children continue to amaze me. They are doing such a great job with their chromebooks. Please make sure that your child brings her/his fully charged chromebook to school everyday. Additionally, all students should have headphones and a wireless mouse for their chromebook.
Scholastic book orders forms are being sent home this week. They are due on Monday, September 27th. You can always order books online by going to Scholastic.com/readingclub and using our classroom code GZBYH.
Math: We are continuing to work addition strategies for 3-digit numbers. On Thursday we are having a quiz that will cover vocabulary, adding odd and even numbers, using compatible numbers to estimate sums, and summing 2- and 3- digit numbers. We will be focusing on the following vocabulary words: Commutative Property of Addition, round, compatible numbers, estimate, and Associative Property of Addition. Here is a link to the vocabulary words.
