If you have questions or concerns, please let me know.
If your child hasn't made the goal (composite score) twice now, you will be receiving a letter in the mail. It is likely that we we will set up a time to meet to determine what needs to be done to get you child's test scores up to grade level.
Thank you to everyone who worked with their child to prepare him/her for the testing. I couldn't do it without your help!
new snack/special calendar
outdoor recess
If at all possible, please send your child's snow gear in a separate bag. There's just not enough room for everything in the backpacks. If your child won't be playing outside at home this week and you would like him/her to keep it at school, that's fine with me, just make sure your child knows what to do.

math
It seems that the most difficult thing for children, when working with money, is counting unlike coins. For example, children are quite successful at counting a group of nickels but when they have to add a few pennies to the group of nickels, they struggle. Please spend some time helping your child learn to count money. It's definitely a LIFELONG skill!
