MathMonday we start our Monster Multiplication!! Multiplication is something we will be working on for the rest of the year. Students will be having timed multiplication fact tests. They need to know their facts as quick as a snap! It's important to be able to recall these facts quickly because they will be used for a variety of math skills throughout the year. The first facts we will be concentrating on are 0, 1, 10, 11, and 2. Start practicing now! We will have a math test on 10/24 on chapter 4. It will cover multiplication facts 0-5. This is not a timed test, so children can take their time figuring out the problems. Don't forget to log-in to Ascend math for extra practice. Log-in information is in your child's planner.
Religion This week we are working on chapter 6. Students are learning about the Church calendar. Our virtue is orderliness.
Social Studies This week we are working on chapter 3. We are learning about how the French came to Michigan to trade furs. Native American projects are due on 11/1.

Mrs. McNamee's Biography:
My name is Mrs. Rebecca McNamee. I graduated from Madonna University where I majored in English/Speech with a minor in Elementary Education. I received a Master's in the Art of Teaching from Marygrove College. I taught elementary school for eleven years. Also, I worked seven years as an online reading and math teacher where I tutored students in grades K-12 from all over the United States. Previously, I have worked as a middle school language arts teacher at the MCES-St. Mary Middle School Campus. The last few years, I have been teaching third grade at St. John's. I have been married for nineteen years and we have three daughters (17, 13, and 11). We have two giant dogs and a fluffy cat that complete our household. I enjoy sports, reading, and spending time with my family. Currently, I am the assistant coach of the U12 Downriver Diamonds travel softball team. I am super excited to be a part of MCES-St. John Campus! I am looking forward to working with students, parents and staff to make this the best year possible. My philosophy of teaching is to obtain a safe learning environment for all my students in which they feel comfortable to express their feelings, take risks, and learn to their highest potential. I will instill a love of learning in my students and help them to develop a positive, caring, and respectful attitude. I will allow my students to feel success and to learn from their mistakes. I want every student to leave my classroom with a smile on his/her face and a desire to learn in his/her heart. Please stop by my classroom to introduce yourself! I love meeting new people!
