Reminders: Homework: Continue to read every night at home. Students should be able to quickly and accurately recall addition facts to 18, and the related subtraction facts. If your child needs additional practice at home and you would like some suggestions of different ways of practicing the facts, please contact me. We will begin adding and subtracting larger numbers soon, and the quick recall of facts allows students to be more proficient in calculations and apply them to problem solving situations. Picture Day on Tuesday. Students are dismissed at noon on Thursday, Oct.10. There is no school on Friday, Oct.11 (PD day) and Monday, Oct.14 (Thanksgiving.) Watch for info coming soon about volunteer opportunities this year.
