Subject Area
Math- We have just completed Chapter 2 on Estimation and Number Theory.  We realize that finding factors and multiples are not the easiest activities, but the students have been working hard.  We are learning lots of new information and concepts daily!  Please continue to work on multiplication facts.  We will be ready to practice the 6's the week after Fall Break, and then we will continue to review the next set of facts each week after that.  Students should be able to recall facts quickly...almost automatically.  Feel free to use those websites like www.multiplication.com , make flash cards, practice orally, etc.  Any extra practice that you do should be documented.  If your child does any extra math practice for 20 minutes, write down the name of the website or description of what you did, and we will give some extra credit/bonus points. :)

Congratulations to the following students for making their AR goal Eli, Erika C., Chloe H, Stella, Kobe, Caleb, Alex, Abby, Carrigan, Jackson, Jesse, Simon, Jayden, Taylor, Olivia, Justin H, Erika, Dallas, and Trent.  Students have until next Friday to meet their goal.

Math News:
Students are working hard, but it seems like we have forgotten LOTS of multiplication facts.  Any extra practice that you can give at home would be great!  We will begin sending home multiplication sheets to those friends who need the extra practice.  A vocabulary list for September was sent home in Friday folders today.  The test over these words will be the last week of September.  Please begin reviewing the words with your child on a daily basis.  Thanks for ALL your help!
