Dear Families,
September was a busy month! In
October, we will begin spelling instruction
and homework. Students should bring
their spelling envelope (with their words)
home and to school every day. Students
are also expected to demonstrate fluency
in X1, x2, x5, and x10 facts by the end of
unit 1. Please have them practice at
home if they are not. Our website has
some fun math links for practicing:
