Dear families,

I thought I'd better send out the next info from our class.

1. Several parents have asked if their child could retake the math test. The answer is no. It would be a great idea to have them correct the ones they missed. Math adds upon each other, so it's important to know the information.

2. The book report  "teepee" page went home today. This month we thought it would be fun for the kids to read an Indian legend or story with an Indian as a main character. Then do the book report about that. I did "The Sign Of The Beaver" because it is also a battle of the books reader. A shorter story is also completely acceptable like "Arrow To The Sun." If your child did not bring home a legend from the library or from my classroom library, you can google in "Indian legends" and come up with something. The book report is due on Tuesday the 24th.

3. We are going to begin a "shrunken-head Indian" apple sculpture. The kids will need an apple (already starting to shrivel would be perfect) and an empty individual-size plastic water bottle you would take to a ballgame or somewhere. We will probably start the carving on Monday.

4. We are now beginning our division study in math. The students who don't have their multiplication facts memorized yet are really struggling. Please do some flashcards with them each night at home. Thank You!

5. We have our super helpers for our field trip. Thanks!!!!!!
