We are showing HEART during our first community meeting! We're singing our Shaker Lane School song and reviewing the HEART program!  

In our Everyday Math program, unit 2 has students working on addition number  stories. The other day, students wrote their own number stories and illustrated them.  We emphasized the importance of including a math question at the end of the number story and using a question mark. it was neat to see how students chose numbers for this activity that were appropriate for them all the way from 4-1000!

We trued some new math apps today! Sushi Monster was a hit! Ask your child if there is an app they enjoyed and would like to  have at home.

We had fun playing addition  top it today! Some students challenged themselves by using three  addends instead of two. Others made double digit numbers to add with! Ask your child which way they played!

Please look at the slots and see if any work for you. I also added some slots in November in mornings and after school. If none work or if you have any other trouble, let me know. Thanks!
