Homework

1. Read a book or read for 10 minutes and record it with a parent signature. Reading Logs that were turned in and these students received house points: Bella, Asher, and Rachamim
Uh oh! Reading is fundamental Fun - da- MENTAL. Be ready!!
Starting in January, students will be rewarded for reading either 10 minutes each and everyday or reading one or more books per day. Please help your child develop this good habit at home.

2. Parents, please purchase a small, unique journal for your child, about the size of the communication book. Write one or two senences in your journal today. Do not write on the first page. That page is for yesterday's entry. Daily entries are encouraged during the Winter break. Students can draw or stocka star net to entries that they are willing to share. Most of the time there will be no topic to write on, as I would like students to write with no constraints.

3. Math PW 67-PW69. Some math papers were returned for checking. Students and parents found that they ran into difficulties when attempting to do the unassigned pages. Please only do the pages assign. I give the homework as it is taught. Attempting to complete work that has not been taught proves to be quite fruitless.

ANNOUNCEMENT: There will be a Hanukkah party in the Grade 2 class on Thursday from 12:45 to 1:15. It will be a small celebration for students only. Our class mother, Debra Wacks is coordinating the party. If anyone would like to act as co-mom for the rest of the year, that would be fabulous. Two's company!

Thank you for getting the library books back to school. A bunch came in this morning. I expect to see another bunch tomorrow. Way to go!

Math explanation:
Regrouping refers to borrowing in subtraction. On p. 67 and 67, students practice subtracing a one-digit number that is more than the ones digit in the larger number. This requires borrowing from the tens place. Students may need to rewrite the math problem in vertical form in order to see the problem easier. Show the borrowing while working the math problem.
That's all for now.
