Mrs. McClure’s class had fun during their math workshop. The kids used straws to blow their cotton ball on two numbers then add the sum. Each student also wrote an addition sentence based on their two numbers. Mrs. McClure overheard one of her students say, “Wow, learning is like playing!”

  
On Thursday, January 22nd the first graders at Lowell Elementary looked a little different....they looked like they were 100 years old!  We enjoyed a fun day of celebrating our 100th day of school.  Students traveled to other classrooms to estimate, count, and play games with the number 100.  First graders also read books and wrote about this special day.  It was a super day!!!

PARENTS ARE THE CORE
TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 27 --  6:00PM - 7:30PM

Our next Parents Are the Core session is next Tuesday, January 27 from 6pm to 7:30pm.  The topic for this session is: What Parents Want to Know in Warren Township. This is a great session that gives you valuable information about school programs, school safety, school communications, extracurricular activities, health and nutrition, as well as community services and resources. While the parents are participating in this informative session, students will have an awesome experience with DIGITAL ART through technology. Students will have an opportunity to utilize hands-on surfaces/technologies to create one-of-a-kind digital artwork! It promises to be a fun-filled activity for the students and an information-packed session for parents!! Grab a friend and join us on Tuesday! Please complete the RSVP form attached to the Lantern and return to school .

For students, one of the College and Career Ready standards’ most important new requirements is that correct answers alone will not be enough. Correct answers are very important, but along with them there is a new set of “mathematical practices” that teachers will expect from students. This is part of their preparation for 21st century jobs. More information>>>.
