We started the first level of our times table program today and students have made themselves "flash cards."  They are to study these flash cards until they can score 100% on a 40 Question - one minute quiz. When they accomplish 100%, twice in a row, they will move to the next level. 40 Question quizzes will be done on Tuesdays and Fridays each week.

If you have decided NOT to purchase school supplies from the school, please make sure your child has the following:

1 inch binder (minimum size)
Subject dividers
Lined loose leaf refill paper
Plain loose leaf refill paper
graph loose leaf refill paper - Quad 4 to 1" sheets
Exercise Books (Hilroy Redi-Tabs Ruled 40 pages 27.6 x 20.3)
Hilroy Studio Scrap Book - 30 Sheets (30.4 cm x 25.4 cm)
Pens - blue
Pencils - HB

I hope you all had an enjoyable summer break!
It was nice to see all the familiar faces this morning and hear about their summer adventures.
