Welcome back to another full week at Rio. We are focusing and buckling down for the end of the trimester. The kids have been working so hard and I am really pleased with their progress. On a personal note, I moved into Santa Cruz this past weekend and we love our new place!
This week we are buttoning things up for the end of the trimester. This week is the student's last chance to get AR points, do any missed assignments, redo any poorly done assignments or do any extra credit that I have approved. Remind your students that anything they hand in now has to be perfect because they will have no chance to make up for it.
I am hoping to finish the Social Studies skits we have been creating and making costumes for this week and do the performance on Friday. I will be video taping it, they will edit it in technology and then show it for open house. Fun!
Make sure you take the 'Parent Budget Survey' on www.pvusd.net if you are concerned about the budget crisis in the district.
Multiplication Practice: The whole school is setting grade level goals for multiplication automaticity and fact skills. We have noticed that a lot of the kids in 6th grade still don't know their facts. We have set individual goals for each student to improve this one step at a time. I encourage you help student's to practice math facts at least 10 minutes a night.

Math: 4.2.1 Monday, 4.2.2 Tuesday, 4.2.3 Wednesday, 4.3.1 Thursday
