Today Mrs. Wilcox came to the classroom to help with some math testing. The kids were VERY excited, to say the least! Of course they were disappointed because she didn't bring her baby along and some were concerned that she left Hadley home alone! LOL Below is a recent picture of Hadley! What a cutie! New WebsiteYou may or may not be familiar with Odyssey, an educational website. The district has a paid membership to this site which offers a wide range of educational activities. I will be sending your child's username and password home tomorrow. Give it a try! You can access Odyssey by going to the district's website. The link is on the lower left hand corner of the home page. Reading HomeworkNext week we will be taking our reading tests. Our A Reading (similar to NWEA math) is on Tuesday, Jan. 27 and the remaining reading tests (sight words, nonsense words, passage reading and word segmenting) will be on Wednesday, January 28. Please spend some time this weekend working on the practice packet I sent home at conferences. There's a lot of pressure on teachers regarding test scores these days so I would appreciate a little extra help at home, if at all possible. Winter coatsThe kids are trying to convince me that they no longer need their winter coats. Maybe I'm old fashioned, but temperatures in the 30's and 40's still require winter coats, especially on windy days. Please make sure that your child wears his/her winter coat, at least until it gets up into the 50's. moneyOne of the things we are working on in math is money. The children need to know the names and values of the coins, as well as adding various amounts of money. For example, How much would two dimes, one nickel, and three pennies be? Many children do not have much experience with money. Would you be willing to do a little money work at home? Start by helping your child to name the coins, then teach them the value of each coin. Once they have mastered this, work on adding various coins together.
