Next Weeks Learning Targets

Math-  We will be looking at place value again next week.  This will hopefully help us to move onto to multiplication the following week using partial quotients.

5.NBT.2 
Explain patterns in the number of zeros of the product when multiplying a number by powers of 10, and explain patterns in the placement of the decimal point when a decimal is multiplied or divided by a power of 10. Use whole-number exponents to denote powers of 10.

Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) Informational Meeting

Hello Parents,

Your child’s classroom teacher may implement a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) initiative sometime during the school year. Participation in the BYOD is completely voluntary. Students who bring their own devices will be guided by their teacher in its use within the classroom. BYOD programs enhance the learning process by providing additional resources to participating students. These initiatives also encourage and support responsible use of electronic devices in our ever-expanding digital age. If you have any questions about the BYOD program, you are invited to a meet with our Library Media Specialist on August 23^rd from 8:00 to 9:00 AM in the Professional Learning room located in the Front Office area. Ms. Crosby will be glad to tell you more about how classrooms utilize devices brought from home and answer any other questions.

ParentVUE (Grades 4, 5, and Up)

ParentVUE activation codes came home today for the parents who never activated their accounts last year.  If you get an activation code, please be sure to create a username and password that you will remember.  This will follow your child all throughout high school, if they stay in Cobb County.  

If you did not get an activation code, it is because you already have an active account.  If you have trouble logging on, please contact me at laura.kraftschik@cobbk12.org
