The Week of May 9th

We made it through the first week of May. YAY!! Our schedule last week was full a practice testing and reviewing for our upcoming RISE test. We start on Monday. Please make sure that your child is getting a good nights sleep and a good breakfast each morning.

Multiplication Ice Cream Party – On Tuesday, May 24th, our third graders will be celebrated for all of their hard work for memorizing their multiplication facts. Please make sure that you are practicing these facts with your child everyday. Each child will have the opportunity to pass these facts off leading up to the party. Each fact that is passed off earns your child a piece of our ice cream party. Passing off all multiplication facts earns your child a full banana split. Please work with your child at home on these facts!!

Barnes & Noble.  This is a great program because all the students have to do is read 8 books, record the title & author on a journal & take the journal into the store once completed & they get to choose a free book.  They’ve changed it a bit this year, only accepting the journals in the month of August but they’ve also given a great list of books to read for the summer by age group.  I would appreciate you posting this on your blogs when you have time.  https://www.barnesandnoble.com/h/summer-reading-lists?list=kidsbrages-0-7
