Party and other Tidbits...

Parents~
The party today was AWESOME!!!  Thanks for those who offered to donate!  We had EVERY SINGLE student in PJs, enjoying root beer floats, and watching a hilarious (even though it's outdated) video.  Obviously we couldn't watch the whole movie (stopped right at 30:00 mark), so I embedded it below so the students could finish on their own time.

In addition, the multiplication timed tests went well last week, and I'm hoping for even better results tomorrow.  Here's an activity they can do to reinforce those x0,1,2,3,4, and 5s:

Please try to come out for Bingo Night, which is tomorrow here at LC from 6:00-8:00...Hope to see you there!  Have a great night!

Just some updates!!!

Parents~

If you are seeing this message, let me congratulate you on successfully subscribing to the class blog!  Just wanted to send out a quick message with a few minor updates.  We have had our most successful week so far are close to finishing this week up.  Just a few reminders (aka "things you're hearing for the first time if your child needs help with their communication skills" :)  :
1.  This Friday is our 1st multiplication timed test.  The students will have 3 minutes to finish as many x1,x2,x3,x4, and x5 problems as possible.  I have been informing the students of these tests since the 1st day of school, so hopefully they've been working on the memorizing of them at home.

2.  We will have a "phases of the moon" quiz on Friday as well.  The students have a little flip study guide which we created in class to help them.

3.  Coming home TOMORROW will be a moon phases calendar with directions attached.  The students will monitor the moon on a nightly basis and record their findings.

4.  Book orders were sent home late last week and are due by September 25th.  Please take a look and consider if you haven't done so already.

5.  Just a reminder to please check your child's student planner and home folder EVERY NIGHT!  The most important day is probably Monday because that is when their tests from the previous night will be coming home.

I believe that's all for right now.  Sorry for the length, and hopefully you find this information valuable.  Have a great night and keep on keeping on!

Welcome to Curriculum Night!!!

Thank you for coming tonight! Please have a seat in your child's desk. Take a moment to look at their All About Me packet. Also, if you want to use this time to write your child a note, feel free to do so in their notebook.  If you have any questions/concerns at the end, please write me a note on the index card along with the best way to contact you!
