Parent-Teacher Conferences and Canoe Cards
Please look in your child's Thursday envelope for the note regarding your child's conference date and time. If you are unable to attend, please call me to reschedule as soon as possible.
In the Thursday envelope, you will also find our Canoe Cards. If you would like to help our school raise more money for air conditioning, please sell as many as possible. Follow the information on the envelope. If you are unable to sell the cards, please return the envelope with all 10 cards.
Mahalo for your support,
Ms. Barsetti

Today, we reviewed telling time to the hour. They are also allowed to sit anywhere in the room to allow for more choice during the day!
The students have been introduced to MobyMax Fact Fluency to help them build automaticity with adding and subtracting.
Have a great four day weekend! See you on Wednesday, September 5th!
I use the Daily 5 framework for literacy centers. I've found this to be the best framework, because it allows me to work in small groups while other students are independently engaged in meaningful literacy activities. Currently, the students are learning Read to Self. Once they've built their reading stamina for 20 minutes, I'll introduce the other components of the Daily 5 (Read to Someone, Listen to Reading, Word Work, and Work on Writing).
