Just taking
some time to celebrate the beginning

and the end of 2014! Students are welcome to bring a board game to play with
other students. We will also have popcorn and a movie.

Winter Break
December 20th - January 5
Happy Holidays to Everyone!
Make sure to read
everyday!
IXL/Xtra Math UPDATE:
Over Winter break, please encourage your
child to practice IXL or Xtra Math for 15 min. daily. We are working on multiplication fluency (up
to 10) in class and simple division.
Celebrations~ Yesterday students took a four minute timed multiplication quiz with 64 problems. Everyone showed growth from last month's quiz! Keep up the great work and practice!
The following students mastered this test with a score of 57 or above and have moved on to division facts: Adil, Aidan, Adrian, Evan, and Kayley! Our next quiz will happen in mid-January.

Thank You for Attending Conferences!
Thank you to everyone who attended conferences. Thank you for coming and spending the time. I really appreciate your support. Copies of your student's goals will be in their homework folder tomorrow. We'll also be revisiting these goals every week at school. Setting AND working toward goals is an important life skill. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
Again, my email address is: linda_long@ddouglas.k12.or.us My phone number is: 503-256-6500 x 8145.
There were so many great questions at Conferences! Here are a few reminders:
*Homework sheets come home on Wednesday and are due the following Wednesday. Please let me know if you ever have special circumstances. I am very respectful of family time and understand that, sometimes, family obligations take priority over homework. Just let me know ahead of time if possible.
*Rockin’ Readers Reading Logs – They come home at the beginning of the month. As a part of our required homework, each child needs to read 15 or more minutes each school night. It is okay to make up those minutes on another day if he or she misses a day. Also, if you read to your child, that counts! MOST IMPORTANTLY … they are due at the end of the month. Thanks for sending in those November Logs!
*Xtra Math: I am asking that families with Internet access please include 10 minutes of practice each night on Xtra Math. Let's do our best to use this resource to strengthen math skills!
December’s character trait is Integrity. Integrity means to do the right thing, even when someone isn’t looking. Talk to you child about a time when he or she showed integrity.
