For homework this week, there is a reading log and a math worksheet. The math worksheet deals with partitioning shapes (splitting them up evenly). The front page where they actually have to draw the partitions in the shapes and label each fraction has already been used before in class. The back page where there are different shapes presented and partitioned differently is new. They are to determine which letters for each row have a shape split up evenly. They need to look closely. There may be multiple answers to each question, but there also may be none. All homework is going to be due next Tuesday.
Student Led Conference day is fast approaching and we are working diligently in class to prepare for this special occasion. I have two requests:
1. While we have a 30-minute block, we will aim for the conference to be approximately 20 minutes, so we can greet each other, say our good byes after the conference, and it gives me time to get prepared for the next conference. Please remember to show up on time or a little before your scheduled time slot so that we can honor other students' time slots. Thanks for your help with this.
2. A Student Led Conference is a time to celebrate how the student has grown. They will be leading it; I will sometimes help guide the conference if it is needed, and we are all free to ask questions to probe for clarity or deeper understanding. However, if you have concerns to address with me about your child, let's set up a separate conference to discuss them.
Looking forward to it!
P.S. As you may have heard from your child, or may not have heard, my wife and I have decided to add to our family through adoption. We are hoping to adopt a pair of siblings through the foster care system. We have recently been approved by our agency and are beginning the home study process. It's a very exciting time for us; if you would like to know about our plans I would love to share them with you.
How beautiful. Congratulations !
