     I want to thank all of the parents who worked the concession stand, and especially Barbara vanAssendelft for being in charge.  It is great to have parents who are so supportive of their children's school.  Believe me, I know how it is to work all day and then work the concession stand that night.  It is all part of being in a private school, but I wouldn't change a thing!
     Please continue to work on multiplication tables.  Those struggling with division are the ones who still do not know their facts.  Study the Metric and English conversions, as well.  We started converting measurements today.
     The AR deadline for the first nine weeks is October 12.  That will be here before we know it.  Please encourage (MAKE) your child read.  Remember, this is 20% of the Reading grade.
     In Language today a book was assigned called Rosa.  Rosa will be read independently, however we will do a book report together in class.  Please read Rosa along with your child if you possible have time,  It is a wonderful Christian Fiction book.  I reread it every year and continue to enjoy it.

     September 18 - Blood drive in the lunchroom from 3-7p.m.  Extra credit will be given for

     The fifth grade had another wonderful week of school.  I hope they are enjoying it as much as I am.

The class is still struggling with division with two digit divisors.  This process is impossible if they do not know their multiplication tables.  Please, please drill your child daily with some flashcards to work on this area.  They must know the multiplication tables 1-12.  Thank you for your support. 

Also, many are behind on their AR points.  Please encourage your child to read.  I know we all have a busy schedule, but Reading helps your child in ALL subject areas!  The more they read, the better speller they become and comprehension in all subjects is improved!! I only want the best for your child!

Have a wonderful, LONG weekend and enjoy these precious angels!!!!
