Scholastic Book Order

I know that many of you shopped the Scholastic Book Fair that we had at school this week and found some great books! We are always excited about reading new books in class!

I also participate in Scholastic Book Clubs for our classroom each month. Your child received this flyer at the beginning of September. If you are interested in placing an order, you need to send it back to school no later than Monday (the due date of the form was September 15th). I had several parents interested in ordering with a debit/credit card online. If you are interested in completing the order in this way, please visit the site at Scholastic Book Clubs and enter the teacher code J3DYT. The order you place will be delivered to the classroom with all of the other orders and will be sent home with your child. If you have any questions about this, please let me know. I like that Scholastic provides affordable books, and many are labeled in the flyer with AR level for tests!

If you are unable to order this month, don't worry! I will send home a new flyer each month. Remember, books make the perfect birthday or holiday gift for your little readers!

JME Open House

Just want to send a quick reminder about Open House tomorrow evening. Please make plans to attend if you are able! We have been working very hard on some special projects that we want to share with you. Open House will be from 6:00-7:00 pm. Don't forget to stop by the media center and visit the book fair before you leave!

Math, Math, and More Math!

I have been trying to put together a video of some of our math activities from this first unit. We have learned about concrete, tally, picture, and bar graphs and how to interpret information using a graph. We have also been using number lines to order numbers and to help us "count up" when working with addition problems. Who said math wasn't fun?
