Dear Families,

We had a short but busy week!

My math students are really becoming experts at telling time and answering elapsed time word problems! Throughout the day I ask them fun time questions and I love to see how they support one another and work together to come to an answer.

Typical Morning Message with an elapsed time question.



Because of the holiday and the snow day, we only had immigration once this week. We shared a story called American Wei by Marion Hess Pomeranc. It is the story of a little boy from China who comes to America and on the day he is to be sworn in as an American citizen, his tooth falls out and he loses it. How will he find it in time and make it to the court house?  We also got caught up on some other immigration work that we started last week. Next, we will be learning about Ellis Island and making our dream jars.

Reminder: no school next Friday, January 31st for professional development day.

Shabbat Shalom,

Hamorah Caren
