Open House

Open house was a great success! A huge thanks to everyone who was able to come visit room 9. If you were unable to come I look forward to meeting with you at conferences! It was wonderful to see students excitedly sharing what they have been learning. The solar oven project is a favorite! 

Please take a look around our classroom blog. I will be making a post each week and invite you and your child to regularly check it. I have added some links to popular educational sites and strongly encourage students to regularly use these. 

This week I would like to share with you the importance of your child learning his/her multiplication facts. I cannot stress the importance of knowing these facts enough! A child should be able to say a fact as quickly as he/she can answer their name. 

Each morning we have been working on our multiplication facts and we also have a "fact of the day" that we work to memorize. One way you can help support your child is by asking them the "fact of the day" each night. We also play games and use other strategies to help memorize our facts. Ask your child to teach you to play and help them practice. Together we can help your child become successful at multiplication facts.

Next week you and your child will have the opportunity to attend a multiplication fact class taught by the wonderful Mr. Wyborney. Students that attend will receive 7 gator bucks from me! This is an event you won't want to miss!  This class will be on Thursday September 12th and starts at 6:30 PM. 

I also would like to encourage students to be regularly reading our class blog. Each week I will have some type of code word or fact. If your child comes and tells me the code or fact he/she will receive 1 gator buck. Hint: This weeks word is italicized. :)
