Thursday, December 16th

Hi Parents!

Tonight's math homework could be difficult for your children. They did excellent in class but it is a new concept. We introduced the concept of the tenths place value and the hundredths place value. The math homework states that the 100 block (the grid) is consider ONE whole. If it is ONE whole, then each long (10 blocks) is a tenth, and each small block is a hundredth. I realized tonight that I completely failed in giving you the unit letter. It is still in my room! Do your best with your students. I know this will be hard. Encourage them, and remind them to not get frustrated. I made them all say out loud,"This is a new concept. I might not get it right away, but eventually I will." Make sure they keep that in mind!

All in all great day. We had art and your students made fantastic Santa faces.
