D on’t forget, those fingers and toes are vulnerable in the ex-
tremely cold weather we have
been experiencing, so please
make sure your kids wear warm
coats, hats, gloves, snow pants,
and boots to school every day.
Our staff has been busy adminis-
tering the students’ winter
Benchmark Reading and Math
Assessments during the month of
January. The data from these
assessments will be used to
continue providing instruction
that is individually appropriate
for each student.
The PTO parents have also been
continuing their efforts on fund-
raising projects for our school.
Cookie Day, Popcorn Day, and
Smencils are still big favorites
for our kids! PTO funds
benefit all Weiss students, and
provide many of the necessary
and enriching activities and
materials that students use on
a daily basis. Our continued
appreciation to all of you who
participate in our school fund-
raisers, and to the PTO who
provides these opportunities.
Keep saving and sending in
those Box Tops! They are an
easy way to bring funds into
our building.
5th Grade parents, be sure to
read the White Pine informa-
tion on page 18.
Have a very “loving”
Valentines Day!

TRICKS TO LEARN MULTIPLICATION FACTS
With a math curriculum as extensive as it is parents
can be partners in the process that will allow for
greater opportunities for their children to succeed in
math by supporting the learning of the basics at
home. Since the third graders are working so hard
to learn their facts we are offering many tricks to
teach children in multiplying. Some tricks that are
being used in the classroom are listed here. We
truly appreciate all your help at home every night. It
is truly paying off for many of our students! Keep
multiplying those factors!!!
Deck 'Em!
1. Use a deck of playing cards for a game of Multi-
plication War.
2. Initially, children may need a grid to become
quick at the answers.
3. Flip over the cards as though you are playing
Snap.
4. The first one to say the fact based on the cards
turned over (a four and a five = Say "20") gets the
cards.
5. The person to get all of the cards wins!
6. Children learn their facts much more quickly
when playing this game on a regular basis.
The 9 Times Quickie
1. Hold your hands in front of you with your fingers
spread out.
2. For 9 X 3 bend your third finger down. (9 X 4
would be the fourth finger etc.)
3. You have 2 fingers in front of the bent finger and
7 after the bent finger.
4. Thus the answer must be 27.
5. This technique works for the 9 times tables up to
10.
The 4 Times Quickie
1. If you know how to double a number, this one is
easy.
2. Simply, double a number and then double it.
The 11 Times Rule #1
1. Take any number to 10 and multiply it by 11.
2. Multiply 11 by 3 to get 33, multiply 11 by 4 to
get 44. Each number under 10 is just duplicated.
Seeing the Patterns
1. Use a multiplication grid or let your stu-
dents/children create one.
2. Look carefully at all of the patterns, especially
when the numbers correspond with the facts e.g.,
7X8 and 8X7 = 56
3. Let students/children practice the 'fast adding'
which is what multiplication is.
4. When students can count by 3s, 4s, 5s 6s, etc.
they will automatically know their multiplication
tables.
Tales From 3rd Grade, Ms. Ginderske, Mrs. Martinez, Mrs. Sanchez, & Mr. Schneider
Continued on next page….
The 11 Times Rule #2
1. Use this strategy for two digit numbers only.
2. Multiply 11 by 18. Jot down 1 and 8 with a space
between it. 1 _ 8.
3. Add the 8 and the 1 and put that number in the
middle: 198

Tales From Your Reading/Math Coaches Mrs. Cohoon & Mrs. Haag
Another snow day? What to do?
Take advantage of days at home instead of letting your child settle in with their
video games all day:
Practice makes Perfect!
All of Weiss’s 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders have been taught their multiplication and division facts in their class-rooms. Now it’s time to make sure they remember them! Here’s some advice when using good, old-fashioned FLASHCARDS to practice at home. (Flashcards can be purchased at any dollar store, Walmart, Staples)
FLASHCARD ADVICE:
• A small deck of 12 to 15 cards to work at one time.
• Only 2-4 of these cards should be “new” or “hard.”
• Practice consists of saying the whole problem AND the answer (“5 times 7 equals 35”). It should be said without any hesitation.
• When an error or hesitation is made:
ο Give correct answer immediately
ο Have student repeat problem and answer
ο Put card back 2-4 cards from front
ο Continue with deck until a “cold” run through goes three times through without any hesitations.
ο Create room for 2-4 new cards to learn by setting aside the oldest 2-4 cards to make a review stack.
Practice the review stack every 4 or 5 sessions. Practice until through without hesitation.
PRACTICE those FACTS every night, anywhere!
I can’t tell you how important it is for your child to practice their multiplication and divi-
sion facts EVERY NIGHT at home! Just five minutes a night will do wonders to improve
their ability to recall their facts more fluently. You could quiz your child in the car on the
way home from school or on the way to their afterschool activity. Quiz them at the dinner
table or as they are getting ready for bed. Any five minute opportunity is great. If you are
not set up on www.xtramath.org at home, it’s very easy to do. Ask your child’s teacher to
print their at-home code for you, and make it a daily routine!
Try these fun websites at home too:

Help your child be more confident and get their work done faster during

Tales From 4th Grade, Ms. Sujkowski
Ms. Sujkowski’s 4th Grade students
started off the new year writing four
personal goals for 2014. The categories
of goals included academics, personal
behavior, positive interactions with
classmates and health and fitness. Many
students expressed their desire to
master basic math facts fluently as well
as improve upon active engagement in
classroom math activities. Students
worked on that goal as they played a
fraction action game of Cover and
Uncover the Whole using their
knowledge of equivalent fractions and
strategy. The students also relied upon a
little luck of the fraction dice as we
discussed probability.

Tales From P.E., Mrs. Thiel
In Physical Education classes, the
students are participating in a Jump
Rope Unit. They are using short jump
ropes to practice individual jump rope
skills and partner skills. They are also
working with the long jump ropes,
double Dutch jump ropes, Chinese
jump ropes, and jump bands. Jumping
rope is a fun activity that helps to
improve cardiovascular endurance
and is a great winter indoor activity.
Students are learning that jumping
rope can be fun alone or with friends.
Weiss students are becoming great
jumpers. Students are setting goals and
working hard to meet timed jump
rope challenges. They are practicing
jumping without stopping or
missing for 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 minutes.
If they can, they are able to sign the
poster boards posted in the gym.
This is another way to increase
cardiovascular endurance when
jumping rope. Another challenge
the students are working towards is
the 100 single bounce challenge.
Students are trying to jump 100
times in a row without stopping or
missing. It is great to see the hard
work and enthusiasm during these
jump challenges.
Hard Work

Enthusiasm

Math: Fractions, fractions, and more fractions! Students have been adding and subtracting unlike fractions, adding and subtracting mixed numbers, changing improper fractions to mixed numbers, and changing fractions to decimals and they are doing a great job!! Currently, we are us-ing all of these skills to solve real world problems because, as we all know, life is about the story problems. At the conclusion of this unit, we will continue our work with fractions as we move to our unit on multiplication and division of fractions. During this unit, we will introduce students to the method of simplifying fractions before multiplying so it is extremely important that students continue to work on mastering their multiplication facts! Our math program loves to use numbers that require students to know their multiples of 6, 7, and 8--typically the facts that give the students the most trouble. Please spend a bit of time each night on multiplication practice until your student is fluent (answering in under 3 seconds). Xtramath.com and sumdog.com both have fact practice that is quick and easy. Flash cards are also a great way to practice those facts that have not yet been mastered. Social Studies: In social studies, students have been learning about the development of our Thir-teen Colonies. We are wrapping this unit up with a travel project. Students are using what they have learned about the New England, Middle, and Southern Colonies to create a brochure about their colony. Students will then pose as travel agents and encourage other students to “come visit” their colony by sharing their bro-chure and all of the great things their colony has to offer.
After our colony project is completed, we will begin one of my favorite parts of social stud-ies: Our study of the French and Indian War and the events leading up to the Revolutionary War. Students will be learning about many fa-mous people, places, and events that are very important to the history of our country.
our ‘Skateboard Science’ project. It is a hands-on exploration of the physics of motion. The stu-dents have been put into ‘Design Teams’. They are learning concepts of physics and building the obstacles they will use for their final project. Our first obstacle was a chute which helped us learn about potential and kinetic energy. Each day, students rotate the jobs of architect, engineer, accountant and recorder. They’ve been doing a great job and displaying awesome teamwork skills! Thanks to all of you who donated materi-als to make this project possible! Reading: We are on unit three of Reading Street. In this unit, students are learning what people gain from the work of inventors and art-ists along with meeting the Common Core State Standards for reading, writing, speaking and lis-tening, and language. Our fifth graders sure do love to read their chap-ter books! We are impressed with the number of books they have completed this year. To con-tinue to spread the news of ‘books to read’ to their classmates, the students are going to have the opportunity to share ‘commercials’ about their books with the class. We hope this helps to build an abundance of books to read the rest of this year and into the summer! Writing: The students are just finishing up a unit on graphic novels. Students were given a prompt and then asked to create a story in the form of a graphic novel. For each frame of their graphic novel, they needed narration, dialogue, and illustrations. The students’ final drafts will be similar to an actual book. They got very creative with little details to add to their books! Some stu-dents added a title page, book summary, about the author page, more books in the series, au-thor website to visit, and even a price! Please have your child share his/her book with you, they certainly worked hard! Next, we will be doing a ‘President’s Day’ project in which students will choose a president to re-search. Look for their work in the hall around President’s Day! Science: In science, students are continuing to
learn about force and motion. We have started

Language Arts:- The Common Core
State Standards for English Language
Arts are divided into strands for Read-
ing (including Foundational Skills),
Writing, Speaking and Listening, and
Language. We are learning a variety
of reading strategies in order to
improve our understanding of what
we read. We are continuing with Unit
2: Doing the Right Thing. (What
makes people want to do the right
thing?) Students have also enjoyed
taking their weekly assessments in
the computer lab.
Math: February will find us adding,
subtracting, multiplying, and dividing
fractions and mixed numbers. Any
support and assistance from parents
at home in these areas of math would
be greatly appreciated. The Math is
Fun web site is a great resource for
parents(www.mathisfun.com).
Science: In February students will
be learning about Evolution. Students
will be expected to do the following:
Explain how behavioral characteris-
tics of animals help them to survive in
their environment, describe the
physical characteristics of organisms
that help them survive in their
environment, and describe how fossils
provide evidence about how living
things and
environmental conditions have
changed. Please remember that most
of what the students will be learning
dealing with Evolution will be done in
class.
Social Studies: The focus for
chapter 8 will be on the Puritan’s arri-
val at Massachusetts Bay in 1630.
Out of this settlement grew the New
England Colonies. To the south the
natural resources of the Middle and
Southern colonies also attracted
colonists. Students will learn more
about the first colonists and how they
used the land and resources they
found. Just a reminder that for every
social studies test a detailed study
guide is sent home with the students
at least seven days before the testing
date. Students are also reminded that
textbooks must be used for all
worksheets and handouts. The assign-
ments make up about 1/2 of the social
studies grade on the report card.

visit, it is necessary for them to dress warmly and wear shoes in which
they can walk all over the campus.
This fieldtrip is free of charge, but it is necessary that all parents sign and return the Parent Permission Form before January 24th.
Incoming 5th grade parent information nights are at 6:00 P.M. in the White Pine auditorium.
Arrowwood - Wednesday, February 5
Weiss/Hemmeter - Thursday, February 6
It is important that parents attend this event as they will receive valuable information about White Pine programs, electives, scheduling, etc. If you are unable to attend on the 6th,
you can come on the 5th, instead.
