Newsletter
Dear Families,
It is hard to believe that the month of Febru
ary is already here. Before you know it, we
will be seeing signs next month of spring.
Last month I shared information about meta
cognition and the importance of re
establishing routines after the two week
break. This month I would like to share how
metacognition and mathematics help chil
dren gain confidence and problem solve at
the highest levels.
When teaching mathematics our curriculum
includes the Standards for Mathematical
Practice. The eight practices include the
what, how and why mathematicians think
deeply to achieve:
J.s.suc
They are able to identify quantities in a con
textual situation and use mathematical mod
els to show relationships of those quantities.
Students use their models to think about
what they are analyzing, how they are deter
mining the relationships and drawing conclu
sions. Students interpret their mathematical
results in the context of the situation, then
reflect and communicate on whether the
results make sense, possibly improving the
model if it has not served its purpose.
Math modeling is part of how mathemati
cians problem solve and how they analyze
situations and variables, interpret and draw
conclusions. The math modeling cycle re
quires mathematicians to redefine, reshape
and reorder information in order to make
decisions, problem solve and reflect. When a
student is in the formulating step, he/she
may be using manipulatives, creating and or
selecting a picture, geometric, graphical,
tabular algebraic or statistical representa
tions that describe relationships.

8: Look for and express regularity and re
peated reasoning.
In the early grades, this might be as simple
as writing an addition equation to describe a
situation, in the middle grades, a student
may apply proportional reasoning to plan a
school event or analyze a problem, and a
high school student might use geometry to
solve a design problem. Mathematically
proficient students can apply mathematics
they know to solve problems arising in eve
ryday life, society and the workplace.
The Mathematical Practice, number 4, Mod
el with mathematics, engages children in
thinking about math from the concrete to
the abstract. Mathematically proficient
students are metacognitive.
Cope
Intep’eI
Developing the depth of students’ thinking
builds in mathematics beyond proficient;
teaching them to be metacognitive of their
learning is the basis for transfer.

Standards for Mathematical Practice
Parents’ Guide
As your son or daughter works through homework exercises, you can help him or her develop
skills with these Math Practice Standards by asking some of these questions:
1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.
• What are you solving for in the problem?
• Can you think of a problem that you have solved before that is like this one?
• How will you go about solving it? What’s your plan?
• Are you making progress toward solving it Should you try a different plan?
• How can you check your answer? Can you check using a different method?
2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively.
• Can you write or recall an expression or equation to match the problem situation?
• What do the numbers or variables in the equation refer to?
• Whats the connection among the numbers and the variables in the equation?
3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.
• Tell me what your answer means.
• How do you know that your answer is correct?
• If I told you I think the answer should be (offer a wrong answer), how would you
explain to me why I’m wrong?
4. Model with mathematics.
• Do you know a formula or relationship that fits this problem situation
• What’s the connection among the numbers in the problem?
• Is your answer reasonable? How do you know?
• What does the number(s) in your solution refer to?
5. Use appropriate tools strategically.
• What tools could you use to solve this problem? How can each one help you?
• Which tool is more useful for this problem? Explain your choice.
• Why is this tool (the one selected) better to use than (another tool mentioned)?
• Before you solve the problem, can you estimate the answer?
6. Attend to precision.
• What do the symbols that you used mean
2
• What units of measure are you using? (for measurement problems)
• Explain to me (a term from the lesson).
7. Look for and make use of structure.
• What do you notice about the answers to the exercises youve just completed?
• What do different parts of the expression or equation you are using tell you about
possible correct answers?
8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.
• What shortcut can you think of that will always work for these kinds of problems?
• What pattern(s) do you see? Can you make a rule or generalization?
Adapted from pearson :nVisIonVlath aren: Guide 2012
How can you help your child in math?
-Help children practice their addition, subtraction, multiplication
and division facts.
-Encourage children not to give up while solving problems, to
build stamina and develop their critical thinking skills. Don’t give
them the answers ask them to think of different ways they can
solve problems.
-
-Have children illustrate the math they were thinking in their
head and discuss it out loud,
-Have children apply their math knowledge to a real-world
scenario at home, such as doubling a recipe or calculating the
area of a room.

School-Based Planning Team
By Mrs. Julie Bisciotti, Grade 1 Teacher
The Briarwood School Base Planning Team met on January 14, 2015. Our School-Based Planning Team includes:
Kathleen Bush, principal, teachers: Veronica Guzzetta, kindergarten; Julie Bisciotti, first grade; Katie Marshall,
second grade; Nancy Reece, third grade; Kim Barlette third grade and team leader; Megan Lentner, school coun
selor and Tabatha Cleckner, parent representative.
Learning and Achievement:
The team looked at student work, K-3, in the area of mathematics, especially with regards to mathematical mod
eling for solving problems, as well as justifying the reasonableness of an answer. Each teacher/grade level was
able to share out an example from a student’s math journal, and it was evident how each grade level builds upon
the other.
Kindergarten Mrs. Guzzetta shared how the students are using concrete materials to make teen numbers
through the use of secret cards and building them with tens and ones.
-
Grade 1- Mrs. Bisciotti shared how this is taken further when teaching strategies to solve math equations. For
example, in solving 7 + 6, the students are working on seeing that 7 and 3 more can make a ten, and then count
on 3 more to get to the total of 13. In addition, the students were working within the mathematical framework,
and explaining the steps verbally and in writing for deeper meaning.
Grade 2- Mrs. Marshall shared how, in subtraction work, the students are working on decomposing subtraction
problems in order to see that they have to borrow from a ten through a multistep process. Additionally, the stu
dents were able to check the reasonableness of their answers through the inverse operation of addition.
Grade 3 Mrs. Barlette and Mrs. Recce shared their work with rounding numbers to the nearest hundred through
the use of Puzzled Penguin. Students have to Justify the reasonableness of an answer and explain if the answer is
correct or incorrect, and explain why or what should have been done. This allows for deeper understanding of
the skill.
-
Culture and Climate:
For Culture and Climate, the team discussed the progress with utilizing the resource, The 7Habits of Happy Kids,
and our on-going work with students. It was reported that the kids are loving the recognition aspect of the hang
ing individual acorns on the poster, class leaves on the tree in the A/P room, and classroom announcements.
Students are able to verbalize the habits and are cognizant of, and able to verbalize how they are utilizing these
habits in their daily lives.
The assemblies and character education lessons for 2014-2015 are as follows:
February 9: Empathy Habit 5 Seek First to Understand Then to be Understood
March 12: Cooperation Habit 6 Synergize
April 30: Self-awareness Habit 7 Sharpen the Saw (Balance feels better)
May 27: Celebrating Assembly for character education
The School Based Planning Team and staff at Briarwood look forward to continuing our great work as a team. The
next meeting will be held on February 11th.

Counselor’s Corner
Hello Parents!
There are many parts to being a good citizen in our community. One of those parts is to be a
good friend to one another. This month, I will be visiting your child’s classroom to teach les
Sons on the importance of friendship, being and good friend and understanding how these
characteristics build a strong and caring community.
One of the parts of being a caring individual is to stand up for others. As a community it is im
portant that we have each other’s back. I like the message that instead of being a “bystander”
we should be “upstanders” and help those around us if others are being unkind or if someone
is feeling down. This fosters good friendships, a strong community and stomps out unkind
words and actions.
Many of the elements we talk about throughout the year are wrapped into the lessons on
friendship and being an upstander. Being an upstander...
Takes courage It’s not easy to stick up for one another. Sometimes it takes courage to
stand up and tell someone to stop hurtful behavior.
Takes action A good friend and upstander does not sit back, they take action by showing
care and concern for their friends.
Takes assertiveness Telling a friend how their behavior makes you feel and how it affects
others requires being able to use your voice!
Takes compassion Upstanders have the gift of compassion. They recognize when some
one is hurt and take steps to help.
Takes leadership Upstanders are leaders in their social group, helping others to recognize
ways to get along and be supportive to others.

There is a lot of great information out there about how to foster kindness and acceptance. A
quick google search of “upstander” will yield countless tools to help kids understand the im
portance of caring for one another. Have a conversation with your child about how important
it is to stand up for themselves and for one another!
If you have any questions, please feel free to call me. Thank you for your continued support in
helping our children learn and grow!

PHYSICAL EDUCATION NEWS
Dear Families,
In physical education class, we have just introduced our theme of fitness and lifelong weilness. Your
children are in the process of learning and experiencing the Cardiovascular Endurance fitness compo
nent. We have discussed in class that the word cardio means heart, the word vascular means lungs
and the word endurance means an extended period of time. In other words, we have taken a complex
vocabulary word and have broken it down for better understanding and application to class activities.
As the weeks continue, we will continue to explore movement that focuses on strengthening our Cardi
ovascular Endurance fitness level as well as exploring the other areas of fitness (Muscular Strength,
Muscular Endurance and Flexibility).
As always, please remind your children to bring proper footwear to PE class and feel free to contact me
with any questions that you might have.
Sincerely,
Brian Maginn

MUSICAL NOTES
From lovesick moose to gooey-sweet chocolate valentines, the month of February promises
some fun songs in music class.
One of the things all the grades will be working on this month is musical form. Third grades
will continue studying forms like canon and rondo. We’ll experience these forms by listening,
performing, and moving to music. Second grade will also be looking at musical forms using
different movements to represent the different sounding sections of AB and ABA songs. In
first grade we are beginning to understand musical form in distinguishing between same and
different sounds, instruments, and movements. In addition, there will be several fun games
reviewing rhythms and dynamics. Although it’s a short month we’re still going to pack it full of
music!

Health News:
Asthma
Mary Jane Sementelli, RN
The changes in seasons and colder temperatures are bringing students to the Health Office
with complaints of wheezing, shortness of breath, coughing and chest tightness. These are
the common symptoms of asthma, a disease of the airways that makes breathing difficult.
The bands of muscle surrounding the airways tighten and limit air flow in and out of the
lungs. Inflammation can cause swelling which narrows the bronchial tubes, and mucous can
obstruct the airways. According to the Centers for Disease Control, the rate of childhood
asthma has more than doubled since 1980.
Early warning signs that can occur before an asthma episode include feeling tired, weak or
breathless when exercising, wheezing or coughing after exercising, a frequent cough at night
that interrupts sleep, or a cough that lasts more than a week.
Factors that can lead to breathing difficulties or an asthma episode are called “triggers.” In
door triggers include smoke, dust mites, molds, vapors from cleaning products and perfumes.
Outdoor triggers include pollen, air pollution and cold air. Respiratory tract infections, exer
cise and emotional stress can also lead to an asthma episode. It’s important to recognize
what your triggers are and avoid exposure to them.
Medications may be prescribed by your health care provider to treat these symptoms.
“Reliever/rescue medicines” (inhalers) are considered quick acting medications that can be
used as needed to relieve symptoms. They may also be prescribed by your doctor to be given
prior to exercise or sports as a preventative measure for those who experience exercise in
duced asthma. For those with frequently occurring asthma symptoms “controller medicines”
may be prescribed to be given on a regular basis. Talk with your doctor to determine the best
way to treat your child’s signs and symptoms of asthma.
If your child uses a rescue inhaler at home, you may want to consider having one in school.
As with any medication given in school, the school nurse will need a written order form your
doctor for the medication, a parent or guardian’s written permission to administer the medi
cation in school, and the medication delivered to the Health Office by the parent or guardian
in a properly labeled original container.
Your child’s asthma can be controlled. Contact your primary health care provider or your
school nurse, Mary Jane Sementelli at 336-1618 with questions or concerns.
