Dear Parents,

Bailee was our student of the week last week because of always doing outstanding work and trying to earn her Fantastic Falcon. She helped a lot by bringing a pioneer costume from home on Thursday so we could perform so well at the Renaissance Fair for the 6th grade. She also took the time to memorize the song "Oh Susanna" on her recorder so she could be in the performing group. All the kids had a wonderful day at school that day. We had such fun. Thanks to all the parents that helped their child with costumes...that sure helped me.

Parent letter #26 and Spelling Sport Script will be due on Thursday.

The school is hosting a "Buy one Get one Free Book Fair" this week. The students are allowed to go shopping during lunch hour.

Parents, I need to enlist your help with your children doing math homework. They might need you to sit by their side to make sure they understand the math concepts. We are going at a very fast pace during the school day. So many of your kids do not have their math facts memorized. This is really complicating things as we try to teach them advanced math concepts. You must help them get these facts conquered. They were taught them in 3rd grade and so this is just a matter of constant practice.

Math Homework tonight is page 378. Do all problems. If your child seems to understand the concept, let them work on their own. Encourage them to follow the instructions very carefully.

Thanks.
