Math Investigations: Roll and Record

Today, we played the Math game Roll and Record. Students played in pairs with dice and took turns rolling the dice and adding up the total. They then recorded their total onto the Roll and Record record sheet. We focused on whether or not students were able to add up and keep track of their totals and if students were able to write their numbers correctly. Please play this game at home with your child over the Thanksgiving break!

Veteran's Day with Mr. Bodkin

On Thursday, Mr. Bodkin joined us for flag raising and read a story to the class because he is a Marine Veteran. Mr. Bodkin read "My Sailor Dad" and answered questions about serving our country. He also kicked off our Real Men Read week. ATTENTION MEN! Dads and Grandpas, etc.- if you are available to come in and read a story to the class this week, let us know! We'd love to have you read a story to the class- you can bring a favorite or we can pick one out for you. Perhaps you'd like to join us before lunch around 10:30ish and stay for lunch with your child (11:15-11:45) or another time that works. Thanks again to Mr. Bodkin for serving our country and for reading to us and teaching us all about what it means to be a Veteran. :)
