Phonebooks


Don't forget to send in all those annoying old phone books! As we go into spring it still gets a little chilly-- bring a coat for recess and afternoon kickball. Keep track of your reading minutes on your kite festival chart and be ready to pass off times tables. Valentines and Sep's are fast approaching, then spring break and testing! This week we will have the Bird Festival come to visit so think of any bird questions you have!

January

Just a reminder that students need to be reading every day for the kite festival. Let's help our school win again this year! Your child should be reading for at least half an hour each day! Don't forget to keep getting on First in Math. It will help with multiplication facts. We are enjoying having Julia in our class. She is going to teach us about Korean money and give a writing lesson this week. Have a great weekend and enjoy our beautiful weather.

Happy 2011

I hope you are ready to learn, learn, learn! We are going to really start working on times tables and passing them off. I hope you are doing "first in math" at home and reading, reading, reading! 4th grade will be rotating for spelling, science, and math. We are getting a new Korean student, Julia, and Kate Ehlert will be joining our class so it ought to be a fun first week of school. Mrs. McAlmond will be back with us Monday and Tuesday to help with reading. Your child should be to at least 500 in First in Math. Homework is reading every night for 30 minutes, First in Math or Multiplication facts, and spelling every night!
