Welcome Back!

Happy New Year!  I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday break.  I enjoyed spending time with my family. Even though I enjoyed having time off, I'm ready and excited to get back to school.  The end of the second trimester is February 28th. Your child should continue reading nightly as part of their homework. Like any other skill, reading proficiency comes from practice and encouragement.  Thank you for encouraging your child to read nightly! Also, please make sure your child spends time during the week practicing his/her multiplication facts. Extra practice at home will help build his/her math skills and confidence!  The end of the second trimester means the year is more than halfway over! I look forward to continuing to watch your child learn and grow.

Multiplication Facts

This week we will be starting a fun incentive to learn our multiplication facts. Students will be working to earn a pizza party. For each multiplication level they pass, students will add another piece to make a whole pizza.  Please have your child begin working on their facts at home too. Learning their multiplication facts will be key to their success in math. We are working on finding the area of shapes in math right now, by multiplying two sides. If they know their facts, it makes

learning this concept easier.

With cold season in full swing, we have lots of runny noses in our class. If you are able, we could use more kleenex! Thanks so much
