Week of November 8th - November 15th

We're well into the swing of November. I missed yesterday, but I know we had a great turnout for Veteran's Day. If anyone has any pictures they snapped, please send them to me so that I can share them. Hopefully, green folders made it home. There should be graded papers and a permission slip in them. It is the permission slip for the ballet, The Nutcracker. Please sign and send back on Monday. The balance of $22 is the remainder for this field trip as well as the ones we have left. This field trip is not $22 by iteself.

Also, our first quarter has ended and we're in the 2nd week of the 2nd nine weeks. If you noticed your little hero struggled on the place value test, please be sure to review it with them. I will be working with them in class one-on-one as well. Place value and their multiplication table are very important in some of the future math modules. If you have noticed, I have been putting pictures of our "Bell Ringers". These are students who are advancing on Xtra Math. Everyone you see here has gotten off addition and are working on subtraction, with the exception of Aditi who is on division. So, she has passed addition, subtraction, and multiplication.
