Families Enjoy Math Night

February 2016 Volume 1, Issue 6

Many families joined us for math night which was held on February 18th. Those

in attendance learned about the 3 components of math—procedural skill and fluen-

cy, conceptual understanding and application—and enjoyed playing some math

games in their child’s classroom!

Attendance matters and thanks to Chanel at the Spokane Trial Net-

work, Wellpinit Elementary students can win some cool prizes for having good

attendance from now until the end of the year. Students with fewer than 5 ab-

sences will get to put their name in a drawing for a bicycle or an iPad. For those

with fewer than 3 absences, they will get to put their name in the drawing 2

times, and those with 1 or fewer absences will get to put their name in 3 times!

So, let’s see if we can get every Wellpinit Elementary student in the

drawing! Please keep in mind that if a student is gone for more than 15

minutes, it counts as a 1 period absence for the day.

Congratulations

to our January Commu-

nity Member of the

Month and thanks for

all you do for our school

and our community!

The 5th grade students choose

the Community Member of

the Month based on the char-

acter trait for that month.

For January the character

trait was Effort and Ms. Wil-

sey’s class chose our very

own...
