HAPPY FEBRUARY!
Please note the following:
*A big THANK YOU to all of the parents who made International Day such a success. The children had a wonderful time touring the "globe", and it's all thanks to you!
*Book reports are due on March 1, 2012!
*Your child should be reading for at least 20 minutes every night!
*Your child should practice their math facts daily!
*Please make sure your child studies the spelling list from the previous week, as I "retest" 4 or 5 words from that list to make spelling sentences each week!
*3H is PEANUT FREE!! Please do not send any snacks or birthday treats with peanut products in them! Peanut products are allowed only in the lunchroom.
*Students must pass 100 multiplication facts in 5 minutes by the end of the third marking period. Study those facts every day! (Those who have not yet passed addition and subtraction, will continue that first.)
*Also, for the third marking period, your child will be required to pass 4 accelerated reader tests with a 60% or better.
*Lunch is 12:15- 12:45 and recess is 12:55 - 1:25 every day.
