Dear Families,
I hope everyone had a happy Thanksgiving and enjoyed the time off. Things
are going to be very busy between now and Christmas break. We will be
testing chapters and units before the break while the information is fresh
on the minds of the students. We will begin reviewing soon for nine weeks
tests and midterm tests.
Students that are in the Christmas Play will miss some class time this week
for practice and the field trip. There will be some class work that they
will need to make up. Please check with them to make sure they have
completed their work.
MULTPILCATION – All math classes are practicing multiplication daily. Please
help your child review at home. Many students would benefit from practice
quizzes. I am proud of the progress they are making. We have several
Masters of Multiplication!
