Tisch's Tidbits
Conferences
It's that time of year! Apples, Pumpkins, Colts football, Pumpkin Spice Lattes, and conferences! Here is the link to sign up for a conference time. Each time slot is 15 minutes. We will go over NWEA,start of the year data and what I'm seeing in the classroom thus far. Of course, any questions you have will be priority as well. Please sign up by Friday. Thank you!
Jog-A-Thon
It's almost time to turn in those pledges for the early bird drawing! The big day is Wednesday, September 28. We will run in the afternoon so sunscreen and tennis shoes will be important to have. The goal is for each child to collect $50.
Cardinals
On Tuesday, November 22, we will continue our celebration of Indiana by sewing cardinals in class! It would be helpful to have five parents here to help a small group of students thread needles and to help the students as they sew. I believe we will be doing this in the morning between 10:30 and 12:30. Please let me know if you are interested!
Multiplication Facts
This week, your child was given access to Xtra math, an online program to help improve math fact skills! The website is www.xtramath.com. The login and password should be taped inside of the planner so your child can do this at home or in school. I have also finished the math fact interviews so next week your child will be working on memorizing five multiplication facts at a time. The facts they showed to have mastered will not be sent home. My goal is for each child to know their math facts by Winter Break. I promise, it will make life in math so much easier! Please work on these facts at home. Just a note that two websites are located at the bottom of the newsletter for easy access to math websites.
Book Fair
We visited the Book Fair today to get an idea of all of the fabulous titles! Here are the times the fair is open this week. If your child brings money, we will find time for them to purchase their books.

REMIND 101
Another way for me to keep in touch is the use of remind 101. Many times I will just send a text reminder instead of an email. To sign up for 2016-17 Parents notifications, please visit
If you already have the Remind101 app, you can search for my class or use @cdc79.
