Well, it was good to see everyone back after the Thanksgiving holiday. Hopefully you and your family had a chance to enjoy some time together, along with some good food (anything would have been better than the bugs Mr. Davis ate at our assembly today - yuck!).
We wrapped up our unit on graphing earlier this week. Students completed their final graphs and have turned in their graphing projects. The projects will be in place of a test at this time, but we will continue to reinforce these concepts as the year progresses.
We have also begun our look at multiplication. Students took a timed multiplication test this week and many discovered that they need to spend more time working on these important facts. While many of the students are able to find the answers to these important facts, they may lack the fluency they need to “own” the fact. We will begin taking these tests daily starting next week and creating line graphs with our results. Look for the week’s tests and line graphs to come home weekly. While these are not for grades at this time, it is our hope to see continued growth as we progress through the year. Please work on these facts with your child. You may find online resources for use in practicing these basic facts in the “Math Links” section above. Knowing these facts will help as we begin multiplying by 2-digit numbers next week.

Homeroom Notes
WIS is collecting warm hats and gloves. If you and your family would like to donate these needed items, please send them to school with your child. Thank you for your generosity.
Reminder: Thursday Notes go home with students every Thursday and are due the next day.
As we approach the end of the first semester, now may be a good time to check in with your child and see if they are in need of additional supplies (pencils, paper, ruler, colored pencils, etc.).
Have a GREAT weekend!
