6. Addition and Subtraction test- larger digits and with decimals(line them up!) Test is Tuesday.
Please note that a few kids are chronically losing or not handing in assignments. I will begin informing parents by way of a little note attached to agenda. So far, most students have everything in, but that is with many reminders from me.
After I remind and I staple a note in agenda, I am going to stop asking, as it is taking up too much teaching and learning time. Thanks for your support.

Tuesday, Oct. 6
1. Grammar tests will go home soon, after to check over and record.
2. Continents quiz- Monday-I'll give students time to study with a group in class. Studying at home usually helps improve their score.
3. Spelling assignments- due Wednesday or Thursday. Test Friday.
4. Math times tables- STUDY!!! Rounding test home today for you to sign and return if possible.
Please note: Average homework time is about 20-25 minutes...to study multiplication, study for a quiz or finish 5 to 15 minutes of an assignment. I am asking kids to raise hands at the end of the day, as well as observe their duotangs and work completed, in order to ascertain how much to assign. If your child has a whole lot more than that, you may need to e-mail me so we can discuss things.
Also, parent teacher interviews are on Oct. 21 and 22 and sign ups are outside the office. If you cannot make one of those times, you can mail me at sabraham@sd73.bc.ca and we will set up something before or after those dates. If I have already met with you, you may want to wait until you feel you need another mtg and then get hold of me.
Lastly, the secretary would like all parents to phone the office if you know your child be be absent. This helps us with our Computer attendance and the safety of the kids.

4. STUDY multiplication facts! Most kids are at 25 or more out of 30 for 2.5 minute drill. Some are still at 12 and 15, which is OK; but it would be easier for them when we start multiplying double digits if they knew singles fast and accurately.

7. Math test out of 15, out of 6 and out of 6. Please ask what your child scored. I always need to check tests and record marks before they go home.
