Some Notes for Week 7

Test folders went home today with a spelling test and last week's Place Value quiz. Please review both and sign the spelling test if there are any corrections that need to be made.

* With the math test, please go over any questions that were incorrect. These questions will reappear in the upcoming math test we are having this Thursday. The numbers will be changed but the skills will be the same. We will have addition & subtraction problems; a bar graph will have to be drawn based on a chart of data, and students must recognize terms like median, mode, maximum, minimum and range. Please be on the look out for the review sheet coming home soon.

* Penny Harvest has begun! We are collecting pennies, but will also take other coins. We need some fun containers to help hold the coins and I proposed that we can use the Happy Meal containers that are part of McDonald's Halloween giveaway. Any child who brings one in will have two dollars contributed on his/her behalf to the Penny Harvest in exchange. Penny Harvest will last till Thanksgiving (so your child can still go trick or treating with the container and then turn it in for a good cause).
Thank you for your support.
