I look forward to seeing you this week on Thursday evening (9/25) for Curriculum Night. If you are not able to attend, I will send home a folder with handouts for you. Also, if you can’t be here on Thursday, please email me a short note of encouragement or your child. I will print it out and put it on his/her desk for Friday morning. Thanks!
Our goal this week: Raise at least $____ for the Walkathon. (PTSA is hoping every student can raise $60!)
Some items in this Monday's take-home folder:
Sign and return: Weekly Update, Topic 1 Math Test Score, Reading Log (in binders)
Review and keep at home: Math fact tests, YMCA Kids University registration, Bio Poem rough drafts, Topic 1 Math Reviews, Student-written music
Walk-a-thon Fundraiser: envelopes were sent home last week on Thursday. It is always a favorite day for us at CVES!
Walk-to-Math: We begin our fluid and flexible groupings in “Walk-to-Math”classes on Tuesday. Math groups will support the needs of all students through:
•Extension, Enrichment, Review and Reteaching
•Evaluation of progress at the end of each trimester allowing for group movement
•Encouragement for students to achieve at their highest potential
