100 Days of School!!

We are so busy working hard to learn and show our knowledge.  Please keep up the good work at home reinforcing classroom learning. 

Math facts must be practiced daily.  Fractions and division require multipliction facts be automatic or the student gets lost in the problem trying to calculate. 

Colonial Day is upon us!  The Gremlins have asked if they can come in costume.  This is fine as long as the clothing does not distract from learning.  We will construct tri-corns and mobcaps before our instructional day begins next week.  If you would like to help by donating supplies or assisting students with skills in the classroom, please send me an email.

Attached please find the Giggles for the week.  Download Green's Giggles week21y2

We're Back and Working Hard!

The Gremlins are back and working hard!  I am so proud of them.  In the attached Giggles, you will find websites to visit with your child that will enhance this unit of Social Studies, and an appeal for help, which viewed from another angle, is an opportunity for you to participate in your child's educational enrichment.

Please keep practicing multiplication facts.

And send back your conference time confirmation slip.
