Wednesday....

Hello,

Here are today's assignments:

Spelling: p. 25-26 in Spelling workbook

Language: complete and simple subjects and predicates ws

Math: WB p. 11

Social Studies: Group work in class studying the Mayan culture

Science: Test

Friendly Reminders :)

Picture day is tomorrow. Please send picture order forms tomorrow as well as money for the package that you choose.

We have started multiplying again in math. Today we started some timed tests and the students' goal is to finish 25 problems in 30 seconds! We had some students pass today at three minutes. One way to succeed is to practice facts at home. Make up "timed tests", create flashcards or use ones that you may have at home. Only a few minutes of work at home a day will make a big difference in learning those important multiplication and division facts!

Next week is Maps testing. As always it is important to try to get as much rest as possible at night and eat a good breakfast before school. This will help you do well on the tests and schoolwork.

Don't forget to send the permission slip for the music concert next Tuesday. I did get quite a few but not all of them!

Have a great night. I can't believe how the weeks fly by! Soon it will be October!!

Mrs. E.
