Reminder: Wyckoff Farmhouse

Please be reminded that the trip that was scheduled for Monday is cancelled.

Thank you!

Thank you for sending your child in with the supplies needed to churn butter this Friday! The kids LOVED the activity and seemed to have an endless appetite for the bread and corn muffins sent in. Despite the short notice, there was just the perfect amount of materials. Sorry for any last minute scrambles to get heavy cream, etc. and thank you once again!

New Links

Please check out the new website links. One site supports our equivalent fraction work, the other contains many simple math games in many other topics. The Math Reference website is an interactive resource that helps explain some fraction concepts. Have fun!

Book Fair on Friday

We will have our final visit to the book fair on Friday at 1:25-1:50. If your child is still interested in purchasing books, please make sure s/he has the appropriate amount of money.

Butter Churning

Due to the cancellation of the Wyckoff trip on this upcoming Monday, we will try to do one of the activities that was scheduled for the trip. We will try our hand at churning butter. In order to do this we will need about twelve 8-16 oz glass jars with screw top lids that have been cleaned. If you have any jars you can donate please send them in with your child by Friday. Thank you!

PTC

Thank you for your patience and attention through the conferences this night! Sorry that the length of the meetings were somewhat restricted. The conversations were important and provide me with some more directions to take our students in.
As we finish up the rest of the year, it's good to keep an eye on staying consistent or improving on the current results. Thank you for your show of support!
