Parent Communication

I like to send out a weekly email newsletter to parents outlining each subject. In each subject, I will tell parents where we've been, where we are, where we're going, how they can support student learning at home. For example,

Math:

• Where we've been: Last week, we just finished up learning how to tell time to the 5 minutes.

• Where we are: This week, we are working on telling time to the minute.

• Where we are going: Next week, we will be looking at elapsed time.

• How you can support your child's learning at home: 

  • Ask your student to tell time throughout the day on an analog clock or watch. 

  • Give them examples of elapsed time:

    • "We will be eating dinner in 45 minutes. If it's 4:30 right now, what time will dinner be ready?"
