Dear Parents and Students,
Happy Monday! I hope you had a fun and relaxing weekend.
Thanks to the parents who came to parent teacher conferences. If
you were unable to make it, please contact me and we can reschedule before
or after school.
Thanks to those who volunteered to support our class Halloween
party. Thanks especially to Mrs. Spicer who volunteered to organize the
event. Because of parent support, our party will be a success. Last week an
orange letter went home regarding Halloween activities. Please refer to that
note regarding costume information. The parade will begin about 2:00, and
parties will begin after. Parents who are helping at the party can come up
to the classroom at 1:50 for set up.
Students, keep practicing and reviewing concepts studied first
y
trimester in math. Also, to become fluent, please practice math facts daily. I
hope you have had a chance to log onto XtraMath to practice fact fluency.
We will begin division soon. Therefore, we will study both multiplication and
division at the same time.
Please let me know if you have any questions, and have a great
week, and have a happy and safe Halloween!
Sincerely,
Ms. Back
