Math Fact Royalty & PeeWee Sports

Part of our Friday math time is set aside for playing games like "Around the World" to help students practice memorizing math facts. Meet the first of our Math Fact Royalty.



Both of these students competed against the rest of the the class and conquered subtraction math facts! Memorization of plus and minus math facts is an extremely important skill and an expectation in second grade. Parents, please work with me in helping your child memorize these facts. Here is a very helpful site that helps students with this skill: Math Magician. Time spent practicing math facts in one of your child's weekly homework activities. Please refer to your child's S.T.A.R. binder for details.

For those with children interested in PeeWee Soccer, please remember that tomorrow (Tuesday, September 6) is the deadline for turning in permission forms and the $25.00 fee. This fee includes a uniform shirt. You must provide cleats and shin guards for you child. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Principal Jackson or Miss Rita (Little Lambs Preschool). PeeWee Soccer is scheduled for 2:45-3:30 P.M. on Monday afternoons. If you'd like to be a PeeWee volunteer, please let Principal Jackson know, or if you'd rather cheer on the sidelines you are welcome to do that as well!
Here are some pictures of a few other cuties in our classroom.






Hope you all had a wonderful holiday weekend!
