If you see any papers marked with C + R, I encourage you to have your child correct his/her mistakes and return the paper for rechecking. This is a strategy that teaches children to do their best work the first time. With practice, accuracy will improve because they don’t like to redo work. Thanks for your assistance!  Upcoming tests & assignments Superkids- Spelling- Unit 1 Week 4- Monday, September Math- Topic 2 Test- Friday, September 16 (subject to change) Reminder: Reading Log is due (with parent signature) every Friday!  Website of the Week Math Baseball on Funbrain ~ http://www.funbrain.com/math/index.html Take a swing at a series of Math problems in this Math Baseball game.
