Novemeber 2

Hello Parents!

The Halloween parade and party were great fun. All of the students looked great in their costumes. I especially want to thank all of the parents that helped by sending in snacks and for those that stopped by. I think that all of the students had a blast. 

This week we will begin a new project. For the entry even our 4th and 5th graders will be walking off campus on Monday afternoon. We will be walking to view and discuss the old A&K construction yard that is located behind Taco Bell. It is a very short walk. We will not be ON the site, but will be in a position to view and discuss a few things that will directly relate to our new project. It looks like a chance of rain, of course, so send umbrellas and rain jackets with them. We won't be out long, 45 minutes at the longest!

In math, we will continue our work with factors and multiples. We will also continue our Math Fact practice. I have added a new page to the blog. It lists out all of the math fact practice standards on IXL. The standards are split up by grade. Students that need extra practice on Math Facts are encouraged to use the appropriate IXL standard (whether it is in their grade or not). For example, a student that is stuck on a particular addition or subtraction high number can use appropriate IXL standard listed. 

As mentioned in last week's post please have your student check at home for the library book that is missing. It is called, "From Under Sun Mountain." This book really needs to be returned to the library as soon as possible. I will also remind the students in class this week.

Have a great week!
Mrs. Zimmerman
