Thursday, Feb. 12

1.  As usual, please refer to kids' agendas if BLOG did not get posted. I have psoted one all week and yet, it looks as though the last one was Last Friday!

2.  Valentine's "Party"= educational contests, plus art=11 AM to 12 PM plus 1:00 to 2:00.  Thanks for letting your child sign up to bring a snack.  Pleas send in by 11 AM. Also, as I have outlined to kids, Valentines cards are a GO as long as there is one for everybody.

3.  Spelling words plus test- Friday.  Study.

4.  Paragraph- Bullying- due Friday.   We have been doing a lot of work on bullying and how to deal with one.  Also, what can a victim or a bystander do?  We are often using vocab such as HOT, COLD, COOL to solve problems.  Ask your child what they means if you would like some conversation around this area.

5.  Continue to work on Family Under the Bridge project 10 min. per night at home.
6.  CARNIVAL basket- please send in anything for our PICNIC theme ASAP.  Friday, Monday or Tuesday.  Thanks!

Math news- We are heavy into long division.  Most kids were very frustrated until we had done many examples.  No, most kids understand the process.  Those that are having difficulty are mainly those that have not memorized times tables for accuracy and SPEED.  This is the point where not knowing Math facts really starts to affect report card marks.  Just FYI...some students need more practise at home, in the car, etc..  Thanks for helping your child!
