Welcome Back:)

Please note that during the first two weeks of school we will be working together to build our learning community – this includes watching the movie ”Stand and Deliver” (Stand and Deliver Parent_Guardian Letter 2011) math survey, math goals, jobs, classroom/math expectations, etc. Students will have an active role in classroom responsibilities and for their learning – it is essential that we spend time together setting up our systems for the school year.

Also, we will be reviewing math skills and working with MEAP released items as we prepare for our curriculum journey:)

Hoping you were able to get your math journal for your homework. I have all of our purple pens for checking:)

Dear Parents/Guardians,

Have you ever heard of “Harold and the purple crayon”? Well it inspired me with an idea to help students seek data from their homework when they prepare for quizzes/tests and their district math assessments. Stduents are required to get a math journal/composition book (graph or lined) so that they can do their daily math homework in a diary/journal format. When we check together, students will be given a purple pen to use to make edits/redo next to each problem. When it is time to prepare for a quiz/test, they are to look back at their “purple” so that they can focus on those concepts to review. I am hoping that students will use the journal method so that their work is in order to go back and easily review as a strategy to prepare for cumulative assessments.
