1. Throughout the unit you will see papers come home that say "keep to study". Your child can keep those papers in the blue folder the entire unit or in a safe place at home. When you see that the Unit 1 test is coming up (announced here), you can pull those papers to review in preparation.
2. We have 3 iready math lessons due on September 25th!
3. We have our first set of online tests due on September 29th which is a Friday. Please have your child show you the website we do these quizzes on (linked to the right on this blog). Your child has a blue or white piece of paper in his/her folder and he/she will be recording scores there.
PARENTS: YOU ARE ALLOWED TO DO ALL THE TYPING FOR YOUR KIDS! In fact, we recommend it! It is often hard for the kids to think of the facts and type them in. If you just let them work on the facts and you do the typing, they will experience more progress!
District Math Updates: This year we are on a math adventure with a new program chosen by Birmingham Public Schools. For an introduction to this new math program, please click here! If you would like to have a preview of your child's upcoming math units, please click here!
