Dear Parents,
First of all, I hope all your families stay well! I will be sending home curriculum that your child should do during the school closure. I understand that math can be difficult. I have decided to have the focus in Mathematics to be Geometry. This is a concept that has not changed J.
The following is on outline of what I want my students to do over the next three weeks.
Reading: Petey: Read one chapter a day. In students reading notebook they should be summarizing what happened in the chapter and their feelings about the chapter. They should also be looking for vocabulary they don’t understand and writing the word in their reading notebook. They should find the meaning of the word and use it in a sentence. Each entry should begin with the chapter number, then summary, then personal feelings, and vocabulary.
Math: I am sending home students with their math book and the homework and remembering pages that go along with each section. You might need to assist your child with this. I have sent home the worksheets stapled together. Please do not let your child lose these. We do not have extra. These should all be sent back to school with your child when they return to school.
Students should go through one lesson a day in the math book first (they may need your help). Then they need to do the homework sheet that goes with the lesson.
Social Studies: We are in the process of finishing the Midwest. I want students to finish the Midwest packet. I have also sent home students with the Midwest scrapbook. This needs to be completed and returned to school when they come back. Additionally, students should be studying the location of states, abbreviations, and capitols. THEY WILL BE TESTED ON THIS WHEN THEY RETURN TO SCHOOL.
Writing: Students should write an entry a day in their writers’ notebook.
BE WELL!
MRS. MANGLIERS
Math: Complete one lesson a day in math book. Complete the homework page that goes along with the lesson. I also sent home protractors with students. Bring back to school on the first day back.

CHRISTMAS NEWS:
Our celebration will be next Thursday. I will be making lunch for the class. I will make mostaccioli and salad. I will also bring in "red sauce" for my vegetarians. The students on the Christmas committee will be bringing in rolls, butter, forks and knives, cups, and drinks. I have other students that have expressed they would like to bring in some sort of dessert (cookies, etc). That is wonderful if you would like to send in something. I am asking for students to bring in a note from a parent letting me know if you plan on sending anything in. This is important because I have had some students go home and tell their parents they are responsible for bringing in "EVERYTHING" (LOL). I AM ALSO LOOKING FOR PLASTIC TABLECLOTHS, AND ELECTRIC CANDLES. THE STUDENT REALLY GET A KICK EATING WITH CANDLELIGHT.
I ALSO HAVE A TRADITION FOR THIS PARTY FOR STUDENTS TO "DRESS UP". I CERTAINLY DON'T EXPECT YOU TO GO OUT AND BUY A NEW OUTFIT FOR YOUR CHILD. IT IS LOTS OF FUN FOR THE STUDENTS TO LOOK NICE TO CELEBRATE THIS PARTY.

Friday, March 8, 2019
I am sending home an informational letter about an upcoming assembly with DTE energy. I participated in this in the past and it is an awesome presentation. After the presentation, your child will be bringing home energy saving kits you can use at home (night light, timer, light bulb, and more) If you DO NOT want the free "Think Energy Take Action Kit", sign the bottom of the green information note and send it back to school with your child.
A NOTE WENT HOME LAST WEEK ABOUT THE UPCOMING READING CHALLENGE. STUDENTS THAT PARTICIPATE AND READ 140 MINUTES A WEEK FOR FOUR WEEKS WILL RECEIVE A FREE TICKET TO SEE A GAME AT JIMMY JOHN'S FIELD. IF YOU LOST THE "BASES", YOU CAN SEND IN A LETTER INDICATING YOUR CHILD HAS READ 140 MINUTES PER WEEK. THE FIRST NOTE IS DUE MONDAY, MARCH 11TH.
Last but not least, it has been awhile since I have given a Mangliers' challenge. I have challenged your child to pick one day this weekend and refrain from electronics. They assure me they can do this! I would appreciate a note from you letting me know how it went and how they spent their time. Hopefully, they grab a book or volunteer to help at home.
Have a GREAT weekend!

Dear Parents,
While going over a lesson in elapsed time, I realized I have more than a few students that DO NOT know how to tell time.

March 13, 2020
Dear Parents,
First of all, I hope all your families stay well! I will be sending home curriculum that your child should do during the school closure. I understand that math can be difficult. I have decided to have the focus in Mathematics to be Geometry. This is a concept that has not changed J.
The following is on outline of what I want my students to do over the next three weeks.
Reading: Petey: Read one chapter a day. In students reading notebook they should be summarizing what happened in the chapter and their feelings about the chapter. They should also be looking for vocabulary they don’t understand and writing the word in their reading notebook. They should find the meaning of the word and use it in a sentence. Each entry should begin with the chapter number, then summary, then personal feelings, and vocabulary.
Math: I am sending home students with their math book and the homework and remembering pages that go along with each section. You might need to assist your child with this. I have sent home the worksheets stapled together. Please do not let your child lose these. We do not have extra. These should all be sent back to school with your child when they return to school.
Students should go through one lesson a day in the math book first (they may need your help). Then they need to do the homework sheet that goes with the lesson.
Social Studies: We are in the process of finishing the Midwest. I want students to finish the Midwest packet. I have also sent home students with the Midwest scrapbook. This needs to be completed and returned to school when they come back. Additionally, students should be studying the location of states, abbreviations, and capitols. THEY WILL BE TESTED ON THIS WHEN THEY RETURN TO SCHOOL.
Writing: Students should write an entry a day in their writers’ notebook.
BE WELL!
MRS. MANGLIERS
Math: Complete one lesson a day in math book. Complete the homework page that goes along with the lesson. I also sent home protractors with students. Bring back to school on the first day back.
Reading: Read one chapter of Petey, (beginning with Chapter 10). Summarize, then personal thoughts, 4 vocabulary words (define and use in a sentence) Bring back to school on the first day back.
Social Studies: Complete the rest of Midwest packet. Complete scrapbook. Study states and capitols of Midwest. Bring back to school on the first day back.

CHRISTMAS NEWS:
Our celebration will be next Thursday. I will be making lunch for the class. I will make mostaccioli and salad. I will also bring in "red sauce" for my vegetarians. The students on the Christmas committee will be bringing in rolls, butter, forks and knives, cups, and drinks. I have other students that have expressed they would like to bring in some sort of dessert (cookies, etc). That is wonderful if you would like to send in something. I am asking for students to bring in a note from a parent letting me know if you plan on sending anything in. This is important because I have had some students go home and tell their parents they are responsible for bringing in "EVERYTHING" (LOL). I AM ALSO LOOKING FOR PLASTIC TABLECLOTHS, AND ELECTRIC CANDLES. THE STUDENT REALLY GET A KICK EATING WITH CANDLELIGHT.
I ALSO HAVE A TRADITION FOR THIS PARTY FOR STUDENTS TO "DRESS UP". I CERTAINLY DON'T EXPECT YOU TO GO OUT AND BUY A NEW OUTFIT FOR YOUR CHILD. IT IS LOTS OF FUN FOR THE STUDENTS TO LOOK NICE TO CELEBRATE THIS PARTY.
