Danielle had a chance to be the student of the week, it was a short week and because she was an awesome leader, she will get another turn to finish her week...either by the next short week, or another good long week. We love you Danielle!

I am about to teach your students how to do long division. It is going to be very difficult for them if they do not have their multiplication math facts memorized to the families of 12's. Please insist on them practicing and passing them off with you every night (work at least ten minutes after they have finished their math homework every night.) Then encourage them to come and pass them off with me during the school day (2-minute breaks, recess time, in line on the way to lunch, in the morning before school starts) We are working towards a ice cream sundae party. If they pass off their zeros, they will get a bowl, if they pass off their ones, they will earn a spoon, if they pass off their twos, they will get one scoop of ice cream, if they pass off their threes... two scoops, if they pass off their fours, they receive three scoops of ice cream. If they pass off their fives, they earn a topping, (their choice). If they pass off their sixes, they get a second topping choice, sevens...three toppings, eights...four, nines...five toppings, tens... six toppings, elevens...seven toppings and if they pass off their 12's they get to have as many toppings and as many helpings as they want at the party.

Your student went to Mrs. Muhlestein's class for Science the last three weeks and learned about soil. They are now attending Ms. Mullen's class and will learn about weather. They only get three weeks to conquer these concepts and then they take a test that will determine their science grade for this term. Please encourage them to do all assignments and listen well in Ms. Mullen's class during science to be able to do well on the test at the end of three weeks.
