Happy Fall!

I cannot believe that it is already the end of September. This school year is going by so quickly. I am looking forward to adding pictures of the students at work very soon. This will be a great way for you to keep up with what your child is doing.

Just a few dates to remember:
Fall Break is next week.
1st nine weeks ends the week after fall break.
AR celebrations and the multiplication sundaes will be at the end of October for the 1st nine weeks. Students must reach 100% of the AR point goal for the nine weeks with 85% accuracy. Students are earning their yummy sundae by making at least a 99 on their weekly multiplication drills.

Check back in a few days for pictures and leave us a comment.
