AHH SNAKE!

Updates!

Morning Tutoring ends February 15, 2012.

Math – Your child should be practicing multiplication daily. I will be giving multiplication-timed tests to those who are ready. Please practice the facts EACH night. These facts are the foundation for many other math concepts. Students who master their facts will become very strong in math.

AGENDA: Please be sure to check and sign their agenda daily to see if there are any notes on behavior.

SCHOOL SUPPLIES: At this time of year, we are running low on supplies. If you are able to donate any that would be greatly appreciated!
