Tomorrow, Young will have a family dinner night at the McDonald's at 425 N. Eola Road. This will take place from 4:30 - 8:00p.m. Many Young staff will be present to help serve behind the counter. I will be there from 5:30 - 6:30, so come and see me. McDonald's was my first real job (after delivering newspapers for a few years) so this will bring back some good memories!!
Also, if you signed up for Bingo Night (which was canceled due to Friday's weather), you will have an opportunity to re-register for the new night, now slated for Feb. 3. You can also ask for a refund if you cannot attend. Due to a prior committment, I can ONLY attend the early session of pizza and Bingo, so if you can make the early session, put that down for your first choice so I can see you!!
We have been working hard in math understanding how reading plays an important role in math. Being able to read the words in a problem so we know what to do with the numbers is a tricky skill, like being a detective. Tomorrow, the kids will have a 5 question quiz to check for understanding. Journal page 138-139 was class work today (we went through the entire two pages together and then the kids had time to work on it on their own) but some kids need to finish it at home. Be sure to study the important words that "clue" you in to which numbers go where in a diagram. Remember to look for comparing words, like longer, taller, more, etc. that tell you that number would go in the "difference" section.
Did you hear that we are celebrating the Chinese New Year this week in 2G? Greet others with "Gung Hey Fat Choy" which means "Wishing You Prosperity and Wealth!" We are also celebrating ALL cultures with the Cultural Fair that is coming up. Many kids in 2G have already decorated their "dolls," which is a paper shape that they can desiign to represent the unique traits of your family heritage. I hope all kids in 2G participate. Even those who consider themselves "just American" can celebrate the things that make your family unique. You could include fun things your family does or traditions you hold near and dear.
