Good afternoon! Thank you all so much for the BEAUTIFUL flowers I received this morning! What a way to start the day! It is very nice to be appreciated. We are combining Teacher Appreciation Week with Multicultural Arts Week at Bartram Springs. You guessed it!! Another crazy week! Our schedule will be all over the place this week so there will be no homework this week and no spelling and story tests. We will be taking the reading Benchmark Test this week, though, on the theme we just completed.
We have just finished a very difficult topic in math. We were working on place value (specifically tens and ones). This is a hard concept for them to grasp at this age. We will continue to incorporate it into our next topic so they can continue to practice. They struggle with understanding the value that the number in the tens place holds (ex. in the number 36, 3 tens is the same thing as 30).
Over the last couple of weeks, Ariya's mom, Ms. Salvi, has been coming in to teach our students a dance from her native country. She has been working with Ms. Dix on the performance. The students will be performing it on Thursday in the cafeteria in front of all of the first grade classes at 10:00. You are welcome to come in and see it if you would like! Please make sure to sign in first, though, in the front office.
Progress reports will go home next week. Please make sure to sign them and return them to me. I will then make a copy and send the copy back home for your records. As always, if you have a question or concern, please feel free to contact me at mullerl1@duvalschools.org.
The secret words for this week are: multicultural arts!
