SMP 2 Reason abstractly and quantitatively

What this means is that students recognize that numbers represent a specific quantity. They can connect quantities to written symbols (abstract). For example, they can take a context of I have 3 apples and I eat 2 apples to 3 - 2 = 1. Or they can look at symbols and create a context (4 x 3 = 12 could mean there are 4 boxes of cookies and each box has 3 cookies).They understand that the equal sign means “the same as.” Students can reason about the size of numbers. This means they understand that 1,000 grains of sand is a small amount, however 1,000 elephants would weigh a lot! They can reason about size by using estimation.

Some questions to ask your child are:

How are these quantities related? What do the numbers represent in this equation? What would be a reasonable estimate?

Math activity for the week

Think about time - we are turning the clocks forward this weekend. How does this impact your day? How many minutes is it lighter out each day? What is the difference between the longest and shortest day of the year?

How will you use math with your child this week?

Dear Families,

Did you know that the Long Beach Unified School District uses Canvas all the way through high school? If you pair with your child's Canvas account now, you will always be able to view their school success. In Canvas, middle and high school teachers post all grades, including daily and weekly assignments. Click here for the Canvas parent login page for LBUSD. Click here for a video showing you how to pair with your child. Click here for a pdf with directions.

Absent notes need to be cleared within 5 days of the absences. Send a note to the office or email Mrs. Fernandez or Mrs. Mayra Salcedo at with the following information:

Student's Complete Legal Name

Grade

Teacher Name

Date(s) of absence(s)

Reason

If your child is absent for more than 3 consecutive days, a doctor note is required to excuse the additional days.

For Late and Tardies-a medical, dental or court appointment note will excuse a late or tardy for a student. Ensure you request a school note clearance before arriving to school.

Updates as of December 2, 2024

We are writing to keep you informed of important updates regarding the upcoming construction phases at our school. As we move forward with these plans, we want to ensure that all families are well-informed and have a chance to ask questions and share any concerns.

Interim Housing for Grades 3-5

Our district has indicated that, for the duration of this construction year, students in grades 3-5 will temporarily attend Birney Elementary. This will provide the space and resources necessary for their continued learning while we work on improvements to our campus.

TK - Grade 2

For our younger students in grades TK through 2, they will remain on campus throughout the construction phases. We are committed to maintaining a safe and productive learning environment for them, and will be taking extra precautions to minimize disruptions and ensure their daily routines are as smooth as possible.

Ongoing Updates in Our Parent Newsletter

To keep everyone up to date, we will be dedicating a section of our monthly parent newsletter to construction updates. This will include any changes to schedules, safety protocols, and other important information. We encourage you to review these updates regularly.
