Congratulations!

In AR news, both Courtney and Katherine have met certification goals and are invited to eat with their teacher on Sept. 30. It's not too late for the rest of the class-keep reading your accelerated reader books!

Four students really know their multiplication facts! Kyra, Katherine, Lydia and Terra have not missed a test yet and are all moving on to sixes. In order to pass a test, students must get 93% or better on a 2 1/2 minute 40 question test. Also moving on this week are Dominic, Courtney, Amber, Stephen, Lynzee, Hailey, Abbey and Westin!

I will no longer be sending home reading or math practice logs, but this does not mean that I don't expect students to be reading or practicing their multiplication facts. I encourage students to read more and practice their math skills each day in order to become more successful, but I will not be monitoring their practice at home.
