The kids had a great time at the Fun Run! Thanks so much for helping your children get pledges for their efforts. You can send this money in any time until the end of the month.
Progress reports went home Friday. Please sign and return these on Monday. Please look through the folder for any other papers that need to be signed and returned.
Last Thursday, your child should have brought home a study guide for their subject/predicate test, which they will take on Monday. Please take time time to review this topic with your child.
For my math class......You are going to see multiplication timed activities averaged in with their math grades. The students are given 30 problems and they have 5 minutes to complete them. For the most part, the students have done great. Please remember, your child is supposed to have mastered the times tables in third grade. They actually start learning them in second grade. These weekly activities can really hurt a math average if your child receives several failing grades, so if your child is struggling with quick recall of their multiplication facts, please help them study EACH NIGHT. Just spending five minutes a night doing flash cards can make a huge difference.
