Dear families,
Last week we took on an exceptional challenge. Mr. Richner arranged for two stationary printers, Egg Press and Hello Lucky, to donate enough cards and envelopes for our students to write thirty letters in thirty days. Some kids got so excited they took home cards over the weekend. Many kids wrote notes to friends here at school. Some wrote letters to their former teachers. One student decided to connect with his grandma that he’s never met. After working on his letter for a long time he came over and showed me that he’d translated the whole note into Spanish using Google Translate because his grandma doesn’t speak English! We do not have a budget for stamps to mail the letters so be on the lookout for letters coming home with your students.
Math homework this week is a healthy challenge that I’d love for you to try with your child. We have been working on reading problems carefully to understand the situation and make sense of what is being asked. For one of the problems, making comparison tables is a useful way to start while the other is rather open-ended and will require some observation.
Thanks,
Mark
