Read-n-Feed

Thank you for all of the read-n-feed donations!  We made a delicious snack and the 2nd graders loved every bite!!  We had a great day reading.  At times, you could hear a pin drop in the classroom because the students were reading so intently.

Also, today you will find an Xtramath incentive paper in your child's Friday folder.  I am hoping all students will participate.  It is our goal for students to learn their addition and subtraction facts.  We have practiced our addition facts using Xtramath all year.  It is time for a change!  All students will now work on improving their subtraction facts.  I have challenged students to complete Xtramath at home THREE times a week.  If your child completes this challenge, please turn in the corresponding paper by the following Monday.  All students that complete the Xtramath challenge this coming week will earn a habit card for begining with the end in mind.  I know they can do it!  
Are you up for the challenge?
