Week of August 23rd

 

Happy Monday Everyone,

     We are clipping along here at JBE trying our best to get in the groove of a new school year. We have been completing several district diagnostic tests here at school. We are just about done with all of them. Once they are completed students will receive a Data Chat sheets that shows the scores. These results will be used to assist me in seeing the strengths and weaknesses your child has in math.

     As part of our Covid Protocols, students are not allowed to drink from the water fountains in our classrooms. Please have your child bring in a water bottle so that they can have water when they are thirsty. We are also encouraging students to take their bottles with them when we go out to recess and when we have physical education. If they empty their bottle they are allowed to refill them from any fountain in the school. 

     Please remember that it is strongly encouraged for all students to wear a mask at school and on school busses. I know that some of you have opted your child out of wearing a mask. We have had some positive cases of Covid amongst students at our school. Students get a mask break for their morning snack, at lunch, during recess, and again after recess when we are cooling off from being outside. Please consider having your child wear a mask whenever possible. 

     We have our first early release day on this Wednesday. Please make sure your child knows how they are going home. Dismissal will begin at 1:15. Students are allowed to stay in extended day only if they are signed up for the Extended Day program.

    I know with a new school year and for some a new school a lot of questions are on your minds. We hope to be able to answer all of your questions at Open House. Mark your calendar for Open House on Thursday September 2nd from 6-7. This year's event will be presented on TEAMS. Mrs. Lomblo and I will send out a link when we get closer to the day of the event.

     This week in math, we will continue our work with our numbers in base 10. At the beginning of the week we will work on rounding whole numbers to any place. On Thursday students will take their first quiz. It will cover all of the work that we have done since the beginning of school. We will end of the week beginning our work on using the addition standard algorithm. Students will use the algorithm to solve problems. They will also be presented with problems that have missing digits. Students will have to use strategies to figure out what number is missing from the algorithm.

             

     This week in science, we will continue working on unit 1. We are currently waiting delivery of our science text books. Since students do not have their textbooks yet, I am assigning the online student textbook for students to read for homework.
