Otter Projects

I am so excited to see the otter projects on Thursday. We talked about them today and it sounds like we are going to have awesome displays of what they learned. The creativity with these kids is endless. Way to go.
Today a map went home with the Midwest states & capitals so start studying as our test will be before the Christmas break. If you saw this paper and started studying with your child, write studied in the planner for free money.
Thank you to those of you that took the email that I sent you yesterday seriously about your child needing to know their basic multiplication facts. I saw improvements from some today. We started long multiplication computation today and they are realizing they need to know them so thank you and keep practicing.
Tomorrow we are starting the study of cells, bones, tissue, etc. in Science.
Our school wide manner motto this week is "giving sincere compliments" and accepting them graciously. In our morning meetings we are talking about giving specific compliments that we really mean and not just a general one, and how much better we feel when we know it is sincere. Give your child a sincere compliment tonight or tomorrow morning and see how they smile & light up. If you do this, write compliment in the planner for more free money.
Have a great night.
