Week 10 in your fluency folder.
Math homework this week is to study multiplication facts up
to 12 x 12. I have placed the practice Power Points for the
Math Bee on our class website.
Halloween Party
It is time to dust off the skeletons, play in the fallen leaves, and
devour candy until we are in a sugar coma. Our classroom party
will be on October 30th after P.E. The students voted and they
requested to have mac and cheese and salad. I have stapled
what your child is needing to bring to the front of this
newsletter. Also, your child can also bring a special treat to
share with their classmates. This can be a large bag of candy,
Ring Pops, Popcorn balls, Rice Krispies, small toys, etc. Please
plan on about 23 people. All items need to be brought in on
Thursday, October 29th to ensure we have everything needed to
have a spooktacular celebration.
