Dear
Parents,
I
hope this note finds you at the end of a good week. In class we continue our studies of multiplication and
division, Ancient Rome, grammar and writing about the life in Ancient Rome. We will be testing out our Social
Studies unit on Rome next Tuesday.
The children have all the information they need in their binders for
review. I have been stressing the
need for the children to practice their multiplication facts each night for several
weeks. While many of the children
are making good progress in mastering these facts, I would strongly encourage
those who may still be struggling, to be more vigilant in their practice. The goal is to have automatic recall of
all facts 1-12.
I
have several housekeeping items to share with you this week.
1. You will receive a note
about our planned Valentine’s Day activities in your child’s Friday Folder.
2. We will have our annual
Curriculum Day on Wednesday February 19th from 9:30-11:30. This is an opportunity for you to
rotate through several learning activities with your child. I hope you will be able to join us.
3. Our Imagination Stage
Field Trip is scheduled for next Friday, Feb. 14th. Thank you to those who have volunteered
to chaperone, and who have sent in the permission slips and the money for
tickets. If you have not done so
as of yet, please send them on Monday.
4. Your child brought home
information about our annual Wax Museum project earlier this week. There are several due dates for this
month long project. Please help
your child pace their work at home.
5. Parent Teacher conferences
will be March 7th and 8th. I
am working on an electronic sign-up for these meetings and should have this
available to you next week.
6. There has been a change in
the Early Release Wednesday schedule for the remainder of the year. In order to “bank” instructional time
in the event of additional snow days this year, the following Wednesday’s will
now be full days of school- Feb. 12, Feb. 19, Mar. 19, Apr 2,
April 9, April 30, May 7,
May 14, and May
21. Please mark these changes on
your calendars.
