Green Team Sale

Green Team sale – On Tuesday after school Green Team will be having a fundraiser.  We are trying to raise money to create a Monarch Waylay Station at our school.  This is a butterfly garden with milkweed that give the monarchs a place to stay during the summer and rest on their way to Mexico in the winter.  Help save the Monarchs by planting milkweed in your garden also!  At our fundraiser we will have Milkweed seeds, crayons in fun shapes and baked goods.  If you are interested in donating bake goods or pizza to our sale please bring it to the Montessori kitchen before 3:15.  Thanks for supporting the Monarchs and Green Team.

Fall Party

Mr. Borg our gym teacher, will be giving a Fall Party for all the children on October 31.  He will be in need of parent volunteers and donations of candy/treats.  The party will begins at 12:30 to 1:15 for the lower grades and 1:15 to 2:00 for the upper grades.  I’m sure he’ll want you there earlier than 12:30 for set up but he didn’t give me a time yet.  If you are interested in volunteering, please email me and I’ll let him know.  Thanks so much!

Homework for October 3 and other work

Math- Please do lesson 6 homework.

20 minutes of reading. Please fill out Reading Log and Book-it Calendar.

I am sending home a new calendar of ideas for October and November’s Home Journal.

Raz Kids-   Students have an account for my class.  My username is ctruxall.  The students have their own password. It is a symbol they have to click on.

Moby Max- Please have your child practice Fact Fluency at home.  We do this at school too but it will increase their speed and automaticity of addition and subtraction to 20 if they practice at home.  Once they pass with 100%accuracy, I will open up multiplication and division.  To use Moby Max, go to the Dearborn schools website, click on Resources in upper right corner, scroll down and click on  clever, log in with student number(they know this number) @dearbornschools.org.  Then choose Moby Max and then Fact Fluency.  There are other activities to do in Moby Max.  They can choose those too.  Have Fun!
