Happy Martin Luther King's Day G5/T2

Scholars -    Thank you for all of your flexibility in our 2 hour delay days! I know it has been a difficult week because we were not able to get outside and enjoy some fresh air! You did a wonderful job though! Remember….think like a middle school scholar.  This is our time to train our brain! When you have a few minutes think about what you can accomplish during that time, what do I owe, what can I accomplish, what can I be doing to be successful! We have completed 5.OA.3, analyzing patterns and relationships.  We encourage you to play the different math games on our blog at home.  We have noticed that you are not using PISA while solving your math word problems, the problem with that often times is that you are using correct computation BUT you are not answering WHAT the problem is asking so therefore the answer is incorrect. It’s the middle of January, how is your New Year’s Resolution that you created a couple weeks ago coming along.  Write your update on the back of the Buzz now.

Parents – Please return report card envelopes as soon as you can and let us know if you would like us to schedule a conference.  Our math coach will be hosting a Math Curriculum night from 6-7pm on January 28^th here at Brassfield.  It should be quite informative. The Kid Gov, with the help of Ms. Missy Abi-Najm have found somebody to make our very own G5/T2 t-shirts for $7.00 a piece.  We would love to see each scholar get one, if you didn’t receive the order form let us know and we will get another home to you.  We have been getting many complaints from the cafeteria about table manners and playing.  Please talk to your scholar about using the manners that we know that you have taught them.
