Parents,
- Multiplication, mutliplication, multiplication! Please continue to help your child memorize his/her multiplication tables. Students need to start practicing their multiplication tables daily. Even if it’s only for 5 to 10 minutes. Students can use this graph to keep record of their progress: Gráfica de minuto loco. Everyday they can graph how many problems they were able to solve in one minute. I still have many students struggling to complete their assignments in class because they do not know their multiplication facts.
- In class, we’re reading “Robo en la noche” by Kristi Placido. It’s a leveled chapter book about a young girl, Makenna, who moves to Costa Rica with her father. Once we finish reading the book, we’re going to have a Costa Rican breakfast in class like the one Makenna eats when she first arrives in Costa Rica. I’ll email you all the details. I’ll probably need some volunteers.
- Pencils! In class, we are having a terrible time with pencils. They ones brought in along with other school supplies are “unsharpenable”! I don’t believe that is a word, but I don’t know what else I can call it. I have bought and bought pencils –the ones made from ‘real wood’ that we are able to sharpen– and my students eat them, or make them disappear somehow, because we are out of pencils again. If you happen to be at the store and you come across some ‘real wood’ pencils, I would appreciate them greatly.
- We are looking for several parents to help with science fair. If interested in helping with the preparations, please sign up on this link: http://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0A4BAEAE2DA75-2012.
Thanks!
