Brrrrrrrrrrr! It’s cold out there! Please send your child to school dressed for the weather! Thank you!
Multiplication and Division Morning Help: As our walk-to-math students work hard to master 2-digit x 2-digit multiplication and long division during the upcoming math topics, those students who need a little extra help are invited to come in at 8:40am for extra practice (the teachers will be available to students from all the walk-to-math/homeroom classes). All students should be practicing math facts at school and at home right now – multiplication and division fact fluency are essential for success in 4th grade math!
Tuesday at 8:40: Ms. Larson
Thursday at 8:40: Ms. Bernardo
Friday at 8:40: Mrs. Gose
* Mrs. Heinz-Betts will continue with her regular morning math class on Tues & Thurs
The mystery word is endoskeleton. Students who take the bus can come straight to math as soon as the bus arrives, and students who eat breakfast at school can grab their breakfast quickly and bring it with to math. There will be no extra morning math class on conference days as teachers will be meeting with parents at that time.
