Technically Invisible

Today I’ve sent an assignment home for parents to do!  We’re at the halfway mark in the year, and I would like your input.

The attached form asks questions to see how you think your child is progressing in mathematics.  Please take a moment to fill it out and send it back to school.

Over the course of the year, students are exposed to a variety of math concepts.  Some concepts are newly introduced to them in 3^rd grade. Some complex skills are developing, and students will become better at them as the year goes by.  Finally, there are some skills they have reviewed and should be mastering in grade 3.  The Everyday Mathematics program is a spiral-designed curriculum.  Students touch on similar skills over the course of several years in order to deepen and broaden their understanding.

Students will be filling out a similar questionnaire asking them how they feel about math.

Students are knee-deep in our unit on geometry.  There’s a huge amount of vocabulary to wade through, but they are getting the hang of it. We will tie our lessons to real-life examples as much as we can.  Feel free to do the same at home!

Thanks for your feedback!!

🙂  Pens, Pens, Pens.  I don’t know how else to say it – but we are in crazy need of pens. I’m grabbing them from the supply closet, and buying them myself, but we are going through a slew of them.  If you have any lying around the house that you can spare, we will put them to good use.

🙂  This Friday is Halfway Day! We’re at Day 90 already, can you believe it? Students are encouraged to think of ways to celebrate that day through their homework assignment. Have fun with it!

🙂  Hey!  Have you visited our ‘blog recently???  Stop by, say hello, and make our day sunnier.  We LOVE comments!
