Open House Success

It was great to see so many students and parents (89%) at last night's open house. For those of you who were unable to attend, I look forward to meeting you on Monday. Please remember that each child should bring photos, magazine pictures or things like scrap-booking supplies that represent his/her interests to use on a writing journal. Materials used will not be returned.

Getting Ready for Back to School

OPEN HOUSE

Hey CNE families! Tonight is Open House for all 3 buildings from 5-7 p.m. Feel free to lighten your load by bringing in school supplies that might not fit in your backpack.
Hope to see all of you!!!

Back to School Time

I can't believe it's August! This August we are celebrating Joey's 10th birthday which means not only do we get to go back to school shopping, but we also get to go birthday present shopping. Joey will celebrate his birthday with his grandparents who live on a lake in northern Indiana (his dad and I will be there too). We are looking forward to relaxing while we can because when we get back, it's time for me to really get into school mode. I hope you are all relaxing right now and enjoying the last hot days of summer too.

I look forward to seeing you all at the Open House on August 18th! The school will be open from 5-7 for students to find classrooms and meet teachers!

If you're gearing up for school, here is a link to the fourth grade supply list:

Snow Days

I hope everyone enjoys the snow day(s)!
Just wanted to let you know that your children will be given time in class when we return to school to complete their science contracts. The weathering and erosion poster will be due the second day back to school so spending some snow time on it might be a good use of that "free" time. I have attached the requirements for the poster for those whose children have not yet completed it.
A math test is scheduled for Friday. This test will cover basic multiplication facts, 2-digit x 1-digit, 2-digit x 2-digit and 3-digit x 2-digit multiplication problems using old-school or lattice, word problems, multiples and factors, patterns and the properties of multiplication. Students were given a review sheet of the properties. Here is a link for those who wish to practice the properties or who forgot their review sheet http://www.aaamath.com/pro74b-propertiesmult.html#pgtp.
Some sample problems:

• 7 x 7 = _____

• Which is a multiple of both 4 and 5?

• If Ashley can type 40 words per minute, how many words can she type in 5 minutes?

• What are the factors in this number sentence: 8 x 9 = 72 ?
• 47 x 56

Biography literature projects are due tomorrow. We are also planning a reward party tomorrow afternoon for those students who have completed all work and behaved well this quarter.

Yikes, sorry for the interrupted service!

Thanksgiving has come and gone and Christmas is right around the corner!
Our Christmas party will be Tuesday, December 21 at 2:15. Mrs. Kramer is doing the planning and will be contacting those parents who returned the party volunteer forms.

The next literature project is due December 20 and/or 21. Students should be reading a fantasy. The suggested project for this genre is a cereal box report. Links can be found at http://rocket.cneschools.org/course.
