Whisper Phones

I was wondering if any parents have any PVC pipe pieces lying around?  I want to make whisper phones for the class.  They are a great tool to help the students who have a hard time using quiet whisper voices but they are also a great tool for the student that likes to read to him/herself during tests.  With MEAPs coming up it would be great to have this tool.

Fundraisers for PTO

 

Just in case you need a little more information about the fundraisers going on...

• If a student need more than 1 book, they write the name and address of the person who wants one on the sheet.
• They bring that back and turn it in with the money
• The money has to be collected with the order.
• Money is due Oct. 8th
• If you don't sell the book or don't want to participate in the fundraiser the book needs to be returned or will you will be charged $25.00 for it.

Homework Success!

We had most students turn in their homework today, yay!!  Kiddos, keep up the great work.  Parents, thanks so much for supporting your child's learning :).  

I'm thinking about switching homework to be done on an online math program tenmarks.com.  This program allows me to differentiate for each child and provides me with instant feedback.  Tenmarks also gives hints and shows students videos if they get stuck.  Tenmarks is iPad and computer friendly but does require Internet access.  Please check it out at www.tenmarks.com.  I will be sending home a quick poll tomorrow night to see if this would work for your family and make my decision based on your feedback.
