Is that the Sun out there??

Yes!!! Four more kids have mastered their 6's multiplication basic facts! Only 8 more to go!!! Keep those flashcards a flashing! The ones left are very close, many missing only 12 x 6! Not sure how the 7s went today. No new test tomorrow due to the early dismissal at noon.

States and Capital test is tomorrow. Kids will need to locate each state and match each of the 11 states with the appropriate capital. They will have a word bank to select from. Study, study!

In Reading, we have started a new read aloud book. It is called, There is a Boy in the Girl's Bathroom. It is about a bully that lies A LOT! Just ask your kids how much he lies. There is a TON of character and friendship issues embedded in this book! YES!!! Love it!! We will be taking an in house field trip to the opposite gender's bathroom when that chapter of the book comes up. Man this excites the kiddos! Of course chaperones will be present and bathrooms will be empty at the time. All school appropriate and fun. Crazy times!

May I please encourage you to keep your kids home until it is time to come to school. I have noticed some of my kids coming to school way too early. In extreme temperatures, it is way too cold to have them stand outside for 20-30 minutes. Thanks.

Have a super evening!
