Remind 101 Text Messages

Have you ever heard of Remind 101?? This is something new that we are implementing this year and we hope that you sign up for it. Remind 101 allows you to receive text messages from us reminding you of important events, dates, homework assignments, etc... This will be a nice feature if we forget to send a note home, or if the note never makes it home LOL, or if we forget to tell your child something before the end of school. It is totally free to sign up but standard text message charges apply.

You will need to sign up to receive messages from both Mrs. Macat and Mrs. Mouser so you will have all subjects covered!

To receive reminder messages......

Your Macat math class should follow these steps to receive your messages:



1. Send a text message to (442) 333-4306

2. With the message  @macat


Your Mouser reading class should follow these steps to receive your messages:



1. Send a text message to (442) 333-4042

2. With the message  @mouse 


 

Sept. 10th - Sept. 14th

We are now entering into the third week of school and curriculum night is this Thursday from 6:00-7:30! If you can come we would love to visit with you! You will get a chance to meet with our new principal then spend some time with Mrs. Mouser and Mrs. Macat to discuss setting up conferences, homework information, etc...

Here is a look at the rest of the week.

In Mrs. Mouser's class we are working on Plot Development and Sequencing. For writing this week we will be adding details to our quick write.

In Mrs. Macat's class for math we will begin comparing and ordering numbers through 9,999. In science we will be learning about mass and doing a sink or float lab. Pictures will be coming soon!

September 4th - September 7th

Wow! We have already made it through our first week of school and have had our first holiday! Now that we are settled into our school routine, each week we will post information about our week! So to start off...here is a look at this week.

In Mrs. Mouser's class, this week we are working on understanding characters, setting, and plot. We are also practicing using context clues to understand the meaning of words.

In Mrs. Macat's class, this week we are working on place value up to the hundred thousands place. We are reading and writing numbers in standard form, expanded form, and word form up to 999,999. We are also discussing matter and are going to do two labs this week!

Again, please remember to read with your child each night and check for understanding and help your child show their work on their math homework!

Thanks!
