Both grade levels have started a new homework program, "Math's Mate." They will bring home a worksheet on Monday, or the first day of the week. It will be due on Friday or the last day of the week. Parents are asked to sign the work each week. The students will bringing home a letter today that explains the purpose of this program. It is a diagnostic program that helps us identify each child's strengths and weaknesses. I have encouraged the students to try their best. They may not be able to do all of the problems, but I want them to try every question on their own. I have asked them not to work with partners and not to use calculators. Please encourage your child to follow these guidelines. If you have anymore questions, please let me know.

BOTH GRADES HAVE QUIZZES TOMORROW. PLEASE REMIND YOUR CHILD TO STUDY!!!
