End of October News:

We have had a very busy month celebrating Homecoming Week, Red Ribbon Week and also by having our Fall Celebration, AR Reward, and the end of the month PBIS Reward! Wow!  We have also been working hard in math class by continuing to practice our multiplication facts and finishing Topic 2-Generating and Analyzing Patterns.  This past week we have started Topic 1-Multiplication and Division-Meanings and Facts. Your child will be reviewing multiplication and division and exploring the ways they are related. This relationship can be shown with fact families, such as these:
                                         4x7=28                        7x4=28
                                         28÷7=4                        28÷4=7
A fact family is made up of multiplication and division facts that include all of the same numbers.

Please check your child's assignment book nightly for any homework they may have.  It is also important to consistently practice basic multiplication facts in order to increase speed and accuracy. We have been using a website in class that offers a lot of fun games to practice facts: www.multiplication.com

Looking ahead....

There will be a PTO meeting on November 6th at 6:30.  The first trimester ends on November 21st.  School will not be in session on November 23rd, 24th, or 27th .
