Dear
Parents,
Yesterday
was Veterans' Day, but also a very special day of remembrance for me
– the first anniversary of my mom's passing. I was presented with
a lovely plant and card signed by all the fourth graders yesterday
morning, and I was so very touched by the thoughtfulness and care.
Conferences
have begun, and I am so happy to have the opportunity to speak
individually to your child and to you. This is a good time to review
the progress already made, and to set some goals to strive for the
remainder of the school year.
DRILL
TESTS – you are now going to see two drill test papers every week
in your child's Wednesday folder. These timed tests are to help the
children master their multiplication and division facts, and the
scores are NOT going to be entered as part of their math grade.
Students who are able to complete accurately the two sided test
within 5 minutes time will be treated to lunch by me!
