October 31st - November 4th, 2016

• Multiplication Facts:  A large number of students continue to struggle with their multiplication facts!  Not knowing their facts puts them behind in understanding knew math concepts!  We started long division on Friday.  Please have your son/daughter practice their facts and build this basic math foundation.  IXL is a great tool for this! The markers are: D1 and D2

• Fall parties are this week! On Monday, students may bring a costume to school on the morning of the 31st and will be given 15 minutes to change before the school-wide parade begins. Please no masks. This is a school rule.

• Banana Costume and writing are due October 31st. Please make sure to have completed both the writing portion and bring your banana on Monday!
• Genius Hour Update from Mrs. Curran:  

  Our focus has been on taking copious notes on our slides as well as keeping our audience in mind so that engagement will be high when we get to the presentation piece of our project.

• October 31 - Morning assembly, afternoon Fall Parade and Parties
