Another great week ahead!

math study guide
Today, I am sending home the math unit 1 review packet.  This does not need to be returned for a grade.  It can be kept at home and worked on as review this week, to make sure your child understands all the math concepts we have worked on so far.  This will be a very good review to complete at home, before the unit 1 math test.  The math test will be on Tuesday, September 11.  When working on it, if your child really struggles with something, please let me know so we can review at school too before the test next Tuesday.

science--oreos
I am looking for about 5 packages of Oreos for a science project this Friday.  If you are willing to send some in, please let me know!  I would like to have them in by Thursday.

Don't forget tomorrow is Wednesday!  That means Early Release day!  Dismissal will start at 1:40
