Hello Everyone,

Thank you so much to all of our parent volunteers on the Coloma trip! We appreciate all of your driving, mentoring, hiking, gold panning, bunkhouse managing, role modeling and genuine care on this trip. Our green horns became sourdoughs and you lived to tell the tale. We could not have done it without you! The kids had a great time.

Don't forget: times tables are due next week and need to be memorized by October 30th (2's through 12's).  If your child isn't saying times tables in the car on the way to and from school and every night for a 5 minute run through (and driving you a bit crazy), something is amiss.  These are goals that were set in early September.  In order for your child to be successful with the math in 4th grade, it is important to have these skills down.  Please have some fun with these and have your child rehearse daily so that they can test on these math facts by the end of the month. Your child will be getting a packet in their Monday folder. Please have your child use this to practice. Check off each of the math facts as they master them and return the packet as soon as your child has completed this task 2's-12's. Thank you for your partnership.  multiplication music
