Multiplication! Multiplication!
Hey parents! Just a reminder- The most important thing that your child can learn over the next few months is their multiplication tables! It is important that they know them by December. We will get into long division and two or three digit multiplication in January! If they don’t know their facts, they will really struggle! We practice daily in class, but helping at home is certainaly going to be very helpful to their success this year! Thanks for all you do!
Spelling, vocab., and homework
Hi Parents! Hope you had a good weekend! I am a little concerned about spelling, vocab., and homework! I am not getting the math box papers turned in like I should be. I am missing at least half of the classes from last Friday! Please help your children do these assignments and turn in the work to me. It is important that they get their practice in every night. Also, I am noticing that a lot of students are not studying their spelling words! SEP night (conferences) are only a month away! I am concerned about what their grades will be if more of the students don’t start doing better on these tests!
Fundraiser Reminder
Just a reminder! Keep working on those fundraiser packets. if they turn in the yellow/ red form by tomorrow they get a treat! Thanks for you support!

Film Club
This month our movie is ” Sand Lot”. We will meet on the 23rd to discuss it during lunch. I recommend looking at the public library or netflix to find some of these films. Places like Blockbuster and Hollywood only have some of them.
Math Test!
The class has a test on place value on Thursday. As I am looking over their work, I am noticing that they are struggling with where the hundreths and tenths place is. They also should review rounding to the nearest whole number- when rounding decimals. Also, understanding that the word “and” means a decimal!
