Math in Class
We are changing things up just a little bit this week. For the students that have mastered 3-digit addition and subtraction, they will be creating videos of them teaching the different strategies they use to solve equations. This is a higher level of thinking and helps them really solidify the standard. I will continue to work with those that have not mastered this standard yet. Please watch for extra practice to come home with them.

Reading Homework (optional, but highly encouraged!!)
Please, please, please read with your child. Make it enjoyable and fun. You can even read to them!! 20 minutes a day is a great goal. Remember to fill out your monthly reading log if you want a prize. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you so much to all the parents who volunteered for our Valentine party. We couldn’t do these fun things without your help.

This Week’s Happenings:
Mon. 2/17: No School
Fri. 2/21: Early release

Announcements:

Fundraiser: As we didn’t quite reach our Little Caesars goal, the fundraiser will be extended until Friday, February 28th. For every three cards sold by elementary students, they will receive a prize. Also, the top three classes will win a pizza and ice cream party. Currently we are in 3rd place!!

The Little Caesars Breadstick cards are $10 and gives you 10 bags of breadsticks and crazy sauce. These usually cost over $4. This gives you a savings of over $30. Quest makes $7 off of every card students sell. The money raised for this fundraiser helps with field trips, field day, after school clubs and other school activities. These cards make great gifts for neighbors, friends, and family members.
