Today was the last day to bring in food for the Food Drive.  A great big thanks goes out to Rida and Ayman for donating food!  Also, a big thanks to Ali H., Hussein H., Nina, and Maleek for donating money to help feed people in need.  Your generosity is very much appreciated!

Your child is bringing home their math test that they took this week.  I would like you to compare the two tests that have been sent home. The test on white paper is the pretest. It does not count for a grade. The students take this test and then I grade it. After I grade it, I look it over to see what the children have already mastered and what they still need to learn. Then, I sit down and plan my lessons that I will be teaching. You should always see an improvement from the white test to the pink test. Therefore, the test on pink paper is a post test. It does count for a grade because we have been working on these concepts in class. Please sign the test and send it back to school tomorrow with your child.  I am happy to report that everyone did improve….yeah!

Thanks!

If you would like to wear a hat tomorrow (Wednesday), please bring $1.00 to donate to a charity.  Once the money has been collected, the Student Council will decide on a charity to donate the money, too.  I can’t wait to see all the cool hats!

 

We will be taking our first math test tomorrow. To help your child prepare for it, I will send home a review sheet for your child to practice the concepts we have been learning in class.  Please have your child complete the review sheet first and then check it with the answers provided.  If they are having some difficulties, please take a few to review with them how to do a problem.  Thanks:)
