Book Orders/Math

Sorry it has been a while since I have posted!  I always say the months of November and December are two of the busiest months of the year.  It's hard to keep up with this and that of everyday life sometimes!  So, my apologies if you have been waiting for a post!

So let's get to it:

Book orders were sent home today.  I know I sent home a note that says several of the books will make great Christmas presents.  I remember one of my favorite gifts when I was little was when I received the Nancy Drew boxed set.  There are two book order forms that you can order from.  Both have some amazing books in them.  If you decide to order online, you can also check out a different catalog online, giving you the chance to order books that have been clearanced.  Go to www.scholastic.com/bookclubs and type in the username and password that was sent home today.  Write a note in your child's agenda if you are having troubles.  


Math:  We have started a unit on ordering numbers.  This is will be something that the students will see on their state assessments.  Please help make sure your child knows the difference in finding the numbers that are greater than and less than.


Ex.:


Put these numbers in order from greatest to least.


38,454
34,854
38,544
34,584




Make sure your child is looking in the ten-thousand's column, not the ones column to decide between numbers on greater than and less than. 


As always, your children are amazing me with the knowledge they share!  Thanks for all of your hard work.  Thank you also for helping give our class 100% participation in our recent parent/teacher conferences!
