Safety Tidbits from our Assistant Principal
Mr. Fludd, Assistant Principal
Parents you are doing a DYNAMIC job getting our Panthers to school on time! Remember instruction begins at 7:50 am and after 8:00 am you will need to enter the front office to sign your child in as tardy. We want to make the most of the time we have with students. Continue to leave home a few minutes earlier to avoid traffic pattern delays. We are doing great because of you!
Pose. Smile. Snapshot!
Celebrate with us! Red Ribbon Week & Poster Contest

K4 - 2nd GradersOur Math focus this year at FAE is Number Sense. Here are some tips to help your child with this by building mathematical connections with items around your home. 1. Count everything! Count toys, kitchen utensils, and items of clothing as they come out of the dryer. Help your child count by pointing to and moving the objects as you say each number out loud. Count forwards and backwards from different starting places. Use household items to practice adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing. 2. Discover the many ways in which numbers are used inside and outside your home. Take your child on a "number hunt" in your home or neighborhood. | More for K4 - 2nd GradersPoint out how numbers are used on the television set, the microwave, and the telephone. Spot numbers in books and newspapers. Look for numbers on signs in your neighborhood. Encourage your child to tell you whenever he or she discovers a new way in which numbers are used. 3. Ask your child to help you solve everyday number problems. "We need six tomatoes to make our sauce for dinner, and we have only two. How many more do we need to buy?" "You have two pillows in your room and your sister has two pillows in her room. How many pillowcases do I need to wash?" "Two guests are coming to eat dinner with us. How many plates will we need?" Let your child know that YOU think math is fun and exciting! | 3rd - 5th GradeWhen your child is trying to solve a problem, ask what he or she is thinking. If your child seems puzzled, ask him or her to tell you what doesn't make sense. (Talking about their ideas and how they reach solutions helps children learn to reason mathematically.) * Suggest that your child act out a problem to solve it. Have your child show how he or she reached a conclusion by drawing pictures and moving objects as well as by using words *Treat errors as opportunities to help your child learn something new. Let your child know that YOU think math is fun and exciting! |

Keep books in sight as much as possible. Create a library at home, even if it is just a book basket with a few books.
Then read and reread!
