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!
