 Progress reports were sent home today. Please take a moment to review your child's progress. There are 3 and half weeks left until the end of the nine weeks. Students still have time to make improvement before the end of the nine weeks.

 

 

Soils Test

On Friday of this week, students will take their soils test. Students took their Science Journals home today.  Please help your child to study for this test.

 

 

 

 

 

Multiplication Facts

We have been working hard in math on learning our multiplication facts. Many students are making lots of progress.  All students who learn their 1's -10's  before we get out for Winter Break will earn an ice cream sundae.  Please encourage your child to learn their time tables. It will help them tremendously in their future math experiences.
