Message from Dr. Goyette - Celebrating Student Success
Dear Cottonwood Families,
Celebrating achievement is a key factor in boosting children’s confidence, increasing motivation, and reinforcing that effort and hard-work result in success. So we are going to start celebrating our students’ successes in our bi-monthly Newsletters. Our first celebration will include 1st Quarter Accelerated Reader Club Points, 3rd Grade Multiplication Masters, and 1st Semester Students of the Month. Please note, we will only be publishing those students who have permission to publish in Synergy. If you wish to change your child’s permission rights, please call Marcie O’Neill in the front office at 864-2100.
Please join me in a Big Cougar A-PAWS for all of these students.
All my best,
Monica Goyette

1st Quarter Accelerated Reader
Congratulations to our Quarter 1 Accelerated Reader Club Winners! We are so proud of you. Be sure to check out Quarter 2 Club Winners in the next S’more Edition.
Multiplication Masters
The progression of mathematics over a students academic career will move from concrete to abstract skills. A critical key in making this transition is the mastery of basic math facts. Each year our 3rd grade students work hard to master multiplication facts resulting in the coveted Cottonwood Creek Math T-Shirt. To date, the following 3rd grade students are Multiplication Masters. Congratulations to these students and keep up the hard work to all of our other 3rd grade students.

Want to support your child at home with mastering math facts? Do you have a deck of cards? Take the Aces through 10s and play a simple game. You each turn a card over and race to complete the multiplication. It’s simple, fun, and quick.
