Monster Project Wiki

Please check out our drawings and descriptions of our monsters and our re-drawn monsters that we created from the descriptions of the classes we were paired with this year. It was amazing to see how closely some of the monsters resembled the original drawings, and we all learned the importance of being as accurate and descriptive as possible when writing our paragraphs.

Math Fun (for parents too!)

I had the wonderful opportunity a couple of weeks ago to travel to Indianapolis, IN with several of our great St. Mary's teachers to attend the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics conference.  We had a fun time talking about math and learning about new programs and strategies to share with our colleagues and students.  One quick resource that you can use right now is the Everyday Math website with examples of how to work problems in a little different way from the traditional method that you may be used to - click here for the link to  Everyday Math Parent Resources (then click on the free family resources page and then one of the algorithm pages).  Please let me know if you have any questions about this - glandaiche@stmarysschool.org.
