We have had a great week this week!  We did a couple of fun Science experiments with separating solutions and are wrapping up our first Science unit.  Next week I will be sending home a study guide to help your child prepare for our unit quiz.  And speaking of next week…we will be starting GENIUS HOUR!!  We have our kickoff assembly on Monday and will also be sending some more information home at that time.  Our genius hour time will be last block on Wednesdays and any parent help would be greatly appreciated!

Reminders:

Thursday, Nov 10th – Remembrance Day Seniors Tea from 1-2 & assembly from 2-3pm

Friday, Nov 11th – Remembrance Day – no school

Monday, Nov 14th – Pro D Day – no school

Uniform Policy – I just wanted to let you know that I have been noticing that some of the pants the students are wearing are not pants purchased from Neat Uniforms.  Would you please take a moment to check and see that you have proper pants for your child.  If you have any questions or concerns about this, please come and speak with me.

Multiplication Facts – We are in the middle of reviewing and practicing basic facts (addition, subtraction, multiplcation and division problems) and I am noticing that many students do not have their multiplication facts memorized.  Please have your child review their Math facts at home with flashcards OR they can go onto Xtramath.com and sign in there.  On the right hand column of the blog, way at the bottom, is the XtraMath link.  Your child has their 4 digit pin and can plug it in and practice away!  Multiplication facts are essential for Math this year so practice at home would be greatly appreciated.

Spelling – No spelling next week due to a short week.  We WILL have BMV next week!  Also wanted to send a friendly reminder that I need a note or email if your child got 20/20 on Spelling City.  Thanks!
