Happy New Year!

Welcome back! It great to see everyone well rested and ready for the new year.

Here a few few things to note:
* The poll answer to 900 divided by 1000 is 0.9 or nine tenths.

* Green behavior sheets went home for the girls on the Thursday before the recess. Please review and sign it .

* We have our trip to the Brooklyn Museum this Wednesday. If you are interested in being a chaperone, please send a note with your child or let me know at dismissal.

* There will be a math test on Thursday on decimals and the metric units of linear measurements. As usual, there will be a study sheet.

* First Friday this week might center around a math game but can be rescheduled if some one would like to present an activity to the class. Please send a note if you would like to share a talent!

* Please make sure your child has two additional folders: one for word study and another for music. This was posted a couple of weeks ago so quite a few families have already taken care of this and can disregard this reminder.

* We will need a clean glass jar with a lid per child for a butter churning activity in February. The jar should hold  about 10-14 oz. Children will have to shake the contents of the jar so any jars that are too large may present a problem for small hands. Please keep an eye out for a jar that would suit this activity and send it in with your child whenever you can.

Thank you and have a wonderful week!
