Our wonderful students are working hard to earn their hearts for our Grinch party. Remember, each student has been working to earn 3 hearts and these hearts represent RESPECT, RESPONSIBILITY & KINDNESS. We will be holding our Grinch party on Friday, Dec. 15th.

MATH – This week we are continuing learning about area. If your student does not have ALL OF THEIR MULTIPLICATION FACTS MEMORIZED it is going to be much more challenging for them to be successful. Please make sure you practice multiplication facts with your students for at least 5 minutes every day!
ELA: This week we will be working on Unit 3 Week 3 in our Wonders program. Below is an outline of what we are learning in class. Our emphasis will be on describing characters and how their actions contribute to the sequence of events.
