I would like to mention that on Thursday Feb. 6th. from 6-7 pm I am presenting a Parent Workshop on GoMath. All parents are invited to attend. I will speak about how to navigate the site and ways you can improve your child's Math skills.

FEBRUARY NEWS

Hi Parents/Guardians, 
I can't believe we are in February. We will be starting a new unit tomorrow(2-03-14). Our new book is titled:"The Man Who Created Parks." We will be focusing on communities and what it takes to design a park. Some of the skills the students will focus on are identifying the Main Topic, Key Details, Text Evidence. These are just a few of the skills we will be focusing on.

At this time I would also like to address a more personal matter. I have been having some health issues that you may or may not be aware of this year.
In early January I was in the hospital for 5 days.
Please know that when I am absent there is always a well qualified sub. covering the class and he/she has my personal lesson plans to follow which does include homework. I also speak to the sub. personally to go over the days lessons and any other questions he/she may have. 
I have a long road ahead of me and I will be well again but I ask for your patience please. As my blog says: "Keeping Kids First" is my number one goal and my priority. 
*A little side note there are times when I'm out but I am at Professional Development Workshops for our school.
