MATH TEST

Just a reminder that the math test is TOMORROW!  It covers long division and double digit multiplication.  Students have study guides also.

Also, we have been working on our book reports for several weeks now.  Many students have finished but some have been working at a snail's pace.   These have now become homework.  I cannot give anymore class time toward working on them.  They will be due FRIDAY, MAY 1, 2010!

Hope you had a restful week. 

Remember to VOTE tomorrow!

TEST POSTPONED

The math test will NOT be tomorrow.  Too many of the students are continuing to struggle with multiplication of 2-digit numbers.  Please have your child practice this at home!  We are falling behind the rest of the math classes because we are spending so much time on this.  I was hoping to get the test in before the break, but this does not seem likely.  In which case it will be the TUESDAY we come back, April, 27, 2010.  I cannot push it any farther back than that.  PRACTICE PRACTIEC PRACTICE!!!!

Sites to help with multiplication and division

The following are two great sites that will help your child with long division and multiplication.

MATH TEST

Our math test is scheduled for Thursday APRIL 15, 2010.  We will be going over the study guide today.  The biggest thing to do to help your child is to have them practive their multiplication facts.  Division is IMPOSSIBLE without the knowledge of their multiplication facts.  In addition, long division will be tested.  Many student continue to struggle with this as well.  Simply creating problems, (no remainders) will help too.

*****Social studies test tomorrow*****

Social Studies Test

Our next Soical Studies test will be on April 13, 2010.  It will cover the material in chapter four of our book.  This chapter is about the Middle Atlantic Region.  The students are finishing up study guides in class and they should have all the correct answers.  We go over the study guide as a class and it is their job to change their incorrect answers.  There are 4 open ended questions that look A LOT like the ones I sent home for them to find the answers to on their own.  I would make sure they study that material!

VOTING

Please remember to vote tomorrow.  It is so important that you voice your opinion on the town's budget.  Your vote could be the one that counts!

Artist In Action

Many of the students have no returned their Artist in Action forms.  It is very important that they are returned this week so Miss. Crea could preparre for the event.  It is May 3rd from 9:15-10:00. 

Thank you,
Ms Bucci

Humphrey's House

Tuesday, April 6, 2010, we will be headed to Humphrey's House.  The students will be divided into groups and making their own lunch.  IF YOUR CHILD HAS A FOOD ALLERGY OF ANY KIND, THEY MUST PACK THEIR OWN LUNCH IN A BROWN BAG.  I will be sending home a reminder letter as well.  On it is the menu for lunch.  We will be back early in the afternoon.
