I can determine the character traits of historical figures. I can write a multi-paragraph essay describing historical events.

Science Vocab Test Tuesday

Every week, we are having a timed multiplication test. Each student will be given one minute to pass all 36 problems. We started with multiplying by 2. Once they pass the 2 test, they will move on the 3 test and so on. If your child does not pass the test, they do not move on. They will take it every week until they pass. Each test is worth a part of a banana split. Sometime in the spring, we will have a banana split party to celebrate! Encourage your child to know their facts!!!

Please encourage your child to work on ALL math facts at home.
