A few reminders first...
Check Going Green on the school website often for important school news and updates. I also post Classroom News here weekly, and update Homework assignments Monday through Thursday.
Please return Field Trip permission forms and payment by this Wednesday, 3/15.
Next Thursday is an early dismissal day, at 11:30 a.m. There is no school on Friday, 3/17.
If you would like to schedule a conference, please use the school website and follow the links to find an available slot. If you have not heard from me and have no concerns, you do not need to schedule a second conference, but I am always happy to have a conversation with you at any time, whether in person, by phone, or through email.
Report cards will be distributed next week.

In Math, we are working our way through division. Having multiplication facts memorized makes division a breeze! We are continuing with our multiplication facts "quizzies" twice weekly, on Wednesdays and Fridays. Students are expected to have their facts through x12 mastered by the end of 3rd grade so they will be successful with 4th grade math concepts. Please encourage them and help them practice every day.
