“WEEKEND NEWS”
September17, 2010

Dear Parents,
• Our 4th Graders will be going to Swore Farms on Friday, Sept. 30th. We will leave at 9:00 and return at 1:30. The permission slip will be sent home next week. This field trip is sponsored by Farm Bureau.
• Please remember to send in the $4.50 for your child’s yearly subscription to Scholastic News as soon as possible. Thank you for your support!
• I’m sending home a set of Book Orders. You may order out of any or all of them. You will only need to write one check for all the book orders. You can make checks payable to Scholastic Book Clubs. The orders will be due back to school by Monday, September 27th.
• Our Math program starts right off with multiplication and division facts. The students are bringing home flash cards for facts we have already introduced in class. Please help your child memorize these facts for both multiplication and division. More will be sent home in the following weeks.
• I will try and have the Weekend News ready to go via e-mail next Friday for those of you who have signed up for e-mail. If you haven’t already responded to my test e-mail I sent out yesterday, please do so that I know you are able to receive the messages and open up the letter attachments.
• Please read the Science note from Mrs. Kinghorn that is attached to this packet.
