SCE’S Math Problem of the
Month - MARCH
The purpose of the SCE Math Problem
of the Month is to encourage students
to work on problems that make them
feel successful, enjoy math, persevere,
and problem solve at home. I am so
proud of all of the students who
participated in February! Lots of
students have expressed an interest in
this, so please note that the March
Problem of the Month is now posted.
We hope you choose to participate and
have some fun with math! You do NOT

We had a fantastic Read Across America week here
at Scottish Corners! The kids showed their school
spirit by participating in the special dress days, we
collected a lot of nonperishable food items to
donate to the food pantry, and we all read a ton!
The AM class read 1,649 minutes at home this week
and collected 71 canned goods. The PM class read
1,492 minutes at home this week and collected 103
food items. Wow!
We loved engaging with Pancakes for Breakfast by
Tomie DePaola. The book is a wordless picture
book and the possibilities for learning activities
and extensions are endless. We read it together
and had great discussions using the “I See, I
Think, I Wonder…” routine. In math, students
used their problem-solving skills to figure out how
many pancakes we would need if we wanted to
make enough so that everyone in the class could
have two to eat. On Gourmet Thursday the
students imagined what kind of pancake they
would like to create and wrote about their
creations during writing workshop. They had some
interesting ideas! J
I saw a lot of students and parents at the pancake
breakfast this morning! Thank you for taking time
out of your busy schedules to come. We had a very
busy week but it was all worth it! The kids had a
blast and are excited about reading! Thank you for
your support at home!
