The chapter 1 test covering addition and subtraction strategies was sent home for parents to review and sign today.

We will continue to work on addition and subtraction throughout the year. Future lessons will review addition and subtraction strategies. Any extra practice with addition, subtraction, and estimation that you can do at home will be beneficial to your child. Also practicing the basic facts would be great as well.

PARENT/TEACHER CONFERENCES
Parent/teacher conferences are scheduled for Thursday, November 5th from 1:00-5:00 and 6:00-9:30. Since there are not enough time slots for twenty-three students I have added times for conferences with parents on Tuesday, November 3rd from 3:20-5:00 PM. I am hoping I am able to accommodate all parents on these two days. Please sign up by using the following link below.
