Dear Parents,

What a great first few days! We worked on routines and expectations a lot during these 2.5 days, and I am hopeful and encouraged that we will have no problem learning, growing, and having fun together. 

Reminders for this week:

1. I cannot stress enough the importance of practicing multiplication facts. This year, we will be doing long multiplication problems (soonish) and long division. These concepts are VERY HARD if your child doesn't know their multiplication facts. Please, please, please practice these each day for a few minutes. We take a times test every day (or most days), and as your child passes each test, they will move on to the next one, which might be a harder one. Keep practicing so they can keep passing them. 

2. Hot lunch and Milk start this week. Please make sure your child has a lunch or knows if they are having hot lunch! 

3. There are spelling words and a memory verse- the quizzes are on Friday! Your child will be given a handout on Monday, but the website also has the spelling words and memory verse on the homepage. 

4. Forms were due Friday. If you still haven't filled them out and turned them in, you will need to take care of that with the office. 

5. Homework starts this week - check those planners! 

A Few Other Things:

• All office correspondence can be sent to elementary@cvc.org

• Classroom Dojo - join here

• Secret word: Multiplication (have your child whisper it to me on Monday for 2 DOJO points)
