THANK YOU!
Thank you for helping us create a wonderful wax museum! The kids looked fabulous and they did an amazing job on their speeches and their display boards. We were excited to show you all of our hard work, and hope that you enjoyed it as much as we did! Pictures to come soon...
Field Trip May 3
Field trip permission slips are due soon. I am drawing for the 5 chaperones today. As I'm typing this I already have 8 names for the drawing. I will send a skyward message to those whose names are drawn today.
Coats Needed
Please continue to send a coat with your child. Morning recess is still quite chilly and we want everyone to be dressed safely for the temperature.
If you’d like to sit with your child at lunch we’d love to have you. Lunch begins at 11:47 a.m. If you wish to eat the school lunch, please call the office to order a tray.

Data and Graphing

Those who have not finished subtraction should be bringing homework home nightly to practice. With only 6 weeks left I'm concerned that we're going to run out of days for them to pass their levels and 100 facts in 5 minutes.
Goals for Subtraction Facts
Level M by March 8-
Level Z by May 22
Once a student reaches Level Z and can do at least 95 out of 100 subtraction problems in 5 minutes they move to multiplication facts.

Homework Helps and Hints
If you have ipads, tablets, phones, or a home computer you can take advantage of some great apps that are fun and educational. These apps are great for summer learning and for reviewing current skills. For the last few weeks of the school year I will be giving you the names of some apps that might be helpful and fun for your child. Some of them are free, others have a minimal cost starting at $0.99. All of these apps can be found on the App Store for Apple devices. I’m sure you can find them on other sites for other brands as well. Happy free shopping! If you find a good app, please pass it along to me and I’ll share it in the next newsletter.
