October 16: Newsletter

In your child's Friday folder you will find a poster for the HUDSONVILLE HOLIDAY PARADE CONTEST.  It is sponsored by the Hudsonville Holiday Parade Committee.  The posters are used to promote the parade.  If your child is interested in entering the contest please have them write their name, school, and grade on the front of the poster.  Your child can use crayons, markers, glue or glitter to decorate the poster.  It is due on Wednesday, October 21, 2015.  Have fun creating!

Also in your child's Friday folder, you will find green math flashcards.  The flashcards are meant to use to practice the "make a 10" strategy while adding.  The picture on the back of each flashcard can help your child explain how to make a 10 to solve.  These cards would make great practice to increase your child's addition fluency.  We also began Xtramath this week in the computer lab.  This computerized program encourages students to practice their addition and subtraction facts.  We will use this program as least once a week at school.  However, it is my hope that your child will be able to practice at home as well!  Please see the corresponding note in your child's Friday folder to get started.  Please let me know if you have any questions about this program.  My goal is for students to use Xtramath 1-3 times each week.  

Here is the newsletter for the week...
