McGovern Book Fair Thursday, Nov. 4th

 

As we settle into the school year, it is important to make sure that you have a routine set up at home that involves reading every day.  One of the easiest ways to get your child reading is to make sure that you have books of interest to your child available.  

Room 18 will visit the McGovern School Book Fair on Thursday, November 4th during our Library special.  Please send a sealed envelope with money for your child to shop that day. Be sure to write your child's name, grade, and his/her teacher's name clearly on the front of the envelope.  

Here is a link to the Book Fair website and a link to where you can set up eWallets for your child. 

Joyfully,

Math Update: Unit 1 Lesson 7 - Add and Subtract in Word Problems/No Math Homework Tonight

This week your child will learn to solve word problems by adding and subtracting.  Use the Family Letter, which provides background information, math vocabulary, and an activity to see what your child is learning in math. 

A Family Letter will come home in your child's BEE Folder tomorrow, Thursday, October 27th.

 

Note:  Today the children had a quiz on Lesson 6, 

so there will be no math homework tonight.

Joyfully,

Hilary Jackson
