Happy Friday, Room 14!
What a beautiful day, and what a fun week we had together! :)
Students in Room 14 are very enthusiastic and excited about the upcoming play, Willy Wonka! We will be continuing with important rehearsals next week. PLEASE continue to review and practice the songs at home any chance you get!

Mad Minutes were sent home this week. Take a peek and have a conversation with your child about how they are doing. In class we talk about strategies to help us succeed on Mad Minutes - skip questions that are really tricky, never spend time erasing an answer... just keep going as fast as you can! (it's fine to quickly cross off an answer and change it etc.) Memorizing is important, but we are also using different mental math strategies as we go.
This week we looked over all of our Addition results from Mad Minutes since January. Students plotted their results on a line graph, which made it easier to see trends. Students were able to see if they have been improving or not. We talked about goals for the end of April, and strategies to help us get there. Keep up the hard work, and practice!
Have a wonderful weekend everyone!
