Happy Tuesday

Good day back today.  Seemed like everyone was glad to be back and ready to learn.  A teacher's dream!!!  In math today, we worked really hard on simplifying fractions by finding their common factor and reducing them.  Have your child simplify and reduce 9/15 to its' lowest terms.  Do it in the planner for free money.  Once again they are realizing the importance of knowing their division facts to do this with more ease & success.  Practice-practice.
In Social Studies, we started our tour of the Midwest by stopping in St. Louis & Iowa.  Have your child tell you what they learned about the St. Louis Arch and the state of Iowa.  If they can tell you, write Iowa in the planner.
Mrs. Neese came in today for her class lesson.  Ask your child what she talked & she hopes you have a good discussion about it.
Tomorrow is our school wide assembly for the PTA sponsored Read-A-Thon.  So the packets will be coming home tomorrow with very explicit directions & info.  Happy Reading!!!
Lead 21-make sure your child is working on their biographies.  They are due a week from today.  Students will get to do some of the typing tomorrow during class time if they don't have a computer or other resource at home to use.
Have a great night.
