Friday, October 7th

Dear Parents,

Happy Friday!  We had a fantastic and busy week.

The online sign up for parent-teacher conferences is open. https://sites.google.com/a/bvsd.org/kohl-conferences/  Thank you to the many parents who have already signed up. I am looking forward to sharing your child's progress and setting some goals for this year. If for some reason these dates do not work for your schedule, please let me know so we can arrange another time to meet. It is important that I communicate with all my families during conference time.  Your child is welcome to come to the conference.

We completed all of the instruction for the multiplications and divisions facts 0-10 and will begin our math dashes on Tuesday. These are short quizzes testing students recall of multiplication and division facts. Students will take a dash almost each day until they complete all of them. When they are finished with all 32 quizzes, they will get an ice cream sandwich! Please have them continue to study everyday! It is so important to build a strong foundation in math for the upcoming years ahead. Studying overnight for at least 15 minutes will have your child feeling strong in their math facts.

Our first field trip is next Friday. If you have not returned the permission slip and fee, please do so no later than Thursday. If you need help with all or part of the fee, please let me know. Your child will need to dress nicely, as we are going to the theater, and bring a sack lunch and drink.

There is NO SCHOOL on Monday. It is a teacher professional development day.

Our Fall Party is scheduled for October 28. Please watch for an email from our room mom regarding this event.

Our room mom is also in charge of the 3rd-grade basket for the Kohl Carnival, which is on Saturday, October 22nd .  Please watch for that email as well and consider donating to the basket. Our basket theme is SPORTS. Thank you!

Please continue to support your child with regular math fact practice. The following websites are great resources for fact practice.


The following free iPad Applications are also great for math practice:
Flash To Pass, Counting Money, Rocket Math, My Math Flash Cards.
