Ms. Flaherty’s Classroom News for the Week of December 19, 2016

Dear Parents, We are excited about watching Monday’s spelling bee! Sarah, Chase, and Jacob will represent the fourth grade. We’re so proud of them and wish them the best. Thank you for helping your child master his/her multiplication, facts. Students should do XtraMath at home daily. Jeffery’s website, “Web Resources” provides additional online practice for your child. Flash cards are always another great way to help children memorize their facts, too. Many students have already completed and turned in their “Secret Angel” cards. They are due on Monday, December 19th. The $1 wrapped/bagged gift for the gift exchange is due on Tuesday. Santa will pass out the gifts to students when he visits next week. Merry Christmas to you and your family! Sincerely, Ms. Flaherty
